By agreement, the very definition of 'volatile liquid' identifies a liquid which evaporates at Standard Temp/Pressure. The rate at which it evaporates is called its vapor pressure. High VP means it will evaporate rapidly at STP. Theoretically, any material, element or compound, in liquid form can be made to evaporate by increasing the temperature and reducing the pressure.
Gas-deposition makes use of this theory to build industrial diamonds from hot, highly-pressurized carbon vapor.

∙ 14y agoI am under the impression that volatile liquids have a high vapor pressure.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoUsually they do. The smaller molecules (lower molar mass) have less intermolecular forces that decrease the viscosity and such making them more volatile.

∙ 11y agoThe vapor pressure of non-volatile liquids is less than that of volatile liquids.

Is high pressure moister than low pressure?
High pressure is associated with cool, dense air--which can hold LESS wator vapor than warm air. Low pressure would be "moister" than high pressure--meaning it would carry a higher percentage of water vapor or have a higher relative humidity.
The compound CO2 sublimes readily at 25 degrees Celsius Which properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change?
High vapor pressure and low intermolecular forces
Does a high pressure weather system cause low RH?
They're linked. High pressure is usually a result of air descending from on high, where its absolute humidity has to be low since its temperature is low. When the air descends it warms without gaining water vapor, so the relative humidity has to drop.
Why does iodine sublimes?
Iodine is held by the weakest bond - Van der Waals - because it is a covalent nonmetal substance.Iodine also has low vapor pressure. Once Iodine reaches a certain point, there's not enough force holding the molecules together to even make a liquid. Instead, they escape and become a gas.
Are hurricanes low pressure or high pressure?
Hurricanes are low pressure systems.
Is refrigerant leaving a compressor in a cars air conditioning system high pressure vapor high pressure liquid or low pressure vapor?
high pressure vapor
How the compressor working?
Refrigerant enters the compressor inlet as a low pressure vapor. The compressor increases the pressure, and discharges it as a high pressure vapor.
What does AC compressor do?
Cycles refrigerant through the system and changes the state of the refrigerant from a low pressure vapor to a high pressure vapor.

What does on refrigerator High side 240 Low Side 110 mean?
A refrigerator is basically an air conditioning system. There is a high (discharge) and a low (vacuum) side to such systems. As it goes through the system, the refrigerant will change state (e.g., high pressure vapor to high pressure liquid, high pressure liquid to low pressure liquid, low pressure liquid to low pressure vapor, low pressure vapor back to high pressure vapor). This facilitates the absorption of heat from the refrigerator compartment and the exchange of that heat to the ambient air. What you're seeing there are the pressure readings (in psig) of the high pressure and low pressure sides of that system. Your refrigerator and an automotive AC system use different refrigerants, and thus have different system operating temperatures. While those numbers would be excessively high on an automotive system, I don't know if that's the case with a refrigerator. You'd need to inquire with a qualified service professional on the matter of what your refrigerator's operating pressures should be.
Where is the Low side to recharge AC in a 1996 lumina van?
The high pressure fitting is located either in the high pressure vapor line or muffler, while the low pressure fitting is located on the accumulator.......
What is a brief description of the basic refrigeration cycle?
Starting at the compressor;Low pressure vapor refrigerant is compressed and discharged out of the compressor.The refrigerant at this point is a high temperature, high pressure, superheated vapor.The high pressure refrigerant flows to the condenser by way of the "Discharge Line".The condenser changes the high pressure refrigerant from a high temperature vapor to a low temperature liquid and leaves through the "Liquid Line".The high pressure refrigerant then flows through a filter dryer to the Thermal Expansion valve or TXV.The TXV meters the correct amount of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator.As the TXV meters the refrigerant, the high pressure liquid changes to a low pressure, low temperature, saturated vapor.This saturated vapor enters the evaporator and is changed to a low pressure dry vapor.The low pressure dry vapor is then returned to the compressor in the "Suction line".The cycle then starts over.
How is the refrigerant cylinder pressure kept above the system pressure when a system is being charged with vapor from the cylinder?
Add refrigerant vapor on the low side of the system ,the compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant on the high side of the system and lowers the pressure on the low side

Add refrigerant vapor on the low side of the system ,the compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant on the high side of the system and lowers the pressure on the low side

What is the function of the compressor in air conditioning?
It compresses air... No, that's incorrect, actually. It compresses refrigerant from a low pressure vapor to a high pressure vapor. It also creates the pressure which circulates the refrigerant through the system.
