Water vapor molecules are heavier than some gasses and lighter than others. The weight is based on their molecular weight which is the total of the atomic weights of the atoms in the molecule. The atomic weight of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom.
Some examples:
Oxygen gas (O2) has has a molecular weight of 32 (two oxygen atoms each weighing 16) .
Hydrogen gas (H2) is 2 (two hydrogen atoms each weighing 1).
Water vapor (H2O) molecules have a molecular weight of about 18.
Helium (He) has molecular weight of 18.
Carbon Dioxide gas (CO2) is 44.
The molecules in water are closer to each other than those of water vapor, but farther away from each other than those of ice.
The gas molecules interact with one another
Argon, water vapor, CO2, and Neon.
the rate of condensation equals the rate of evaporation, leading to dynamic equilibrium. At this point, the vapor pressure remains constant as molecules continue to transition between the liquid and gas phases at an equal rate.
yes
All volcanoes emit water vapor and other gases.
water vapor is different from other gases that make up air because it condenses out of air that has cooled
The opening and closing of the Stomata allows for water vapor and other gases to come into or out of leave.
Water vapor is held by the troposphere in between molecules of atmospheric gases like oxygen, nitrogen and argon. Most of the water vapor in the troposphere is realized through transpiration off the earth's surface.
Molecules speed up when they are turned from liquid into vapor. This is because they have more freedom to move around due to gaseous properties. Gases conform to the volume of the container, so they have more room to spread out, compared to liquids that do not have the ability to change volume
i know two water vapor and other liquids
Vapor
Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air.
The concentration of greenhouse gases in the air, largely water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane, are causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which is global warming.The amounts of greenhouse gases in the air are:5% Water Vapor0.039% CO2Trace (less then 0.001%) small amounts of other gases (methane, nitrous oxide etc)Water vapor absorbs heat like other greenhouse gases.
The molecules in water are closer to each other than those of water vapor, but farther away from each other than those of ice.
yes, but it depends on what type of magmaIt is TRUE. So yes, dissolved gasses comprise up to a few percent by weight of a magma. Hope this helps! have a nice day =]
They are made of different kinds of molecules.
