What characteristics of gasoline makes it such a dangerous liquid?
Gasoline vapor reacts explosively with the oxygen in air if ignited.
Is gas a fluid?
gas is not a liquid,but gasoline commonly called gas is a liquid .
What form of gasoline is more dangerous?
Gasoline vapor when it is mixed with air. This is very readily ignited.
What do chemical reactints do when you burn gasoline?
Carbon from the gasoline combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Thehydrogen from the gasoline combines with oxygen to form water vapor.
Is water vapor a gas solid or liquid?
Water vapor is an atomized liquid, appearing in gaseous form.
Vapor lock occurs when?
Gasoline vaporizes in a fuel line and obstructs the flow of liquid fuel.
How much does a gallon of gasoline vapor weigh?
Briefly, the saturated vapor volume of an average gallon of liquid gasoline when fully evaporated is 160.4 gallons of vapor at 60° F and sea level.Vapor volume of a liquid is the number of cubic feet of vapor resulting from the complete evaporation of the liquid. The vapor volume depends on parameters of density, temperature, pressure and molecular weight which is affected by the variety of formulas for gasoline that is comprised of a wide range of hydrocarbons.Several approaches are available to solve this problem. One is shown below.Using a common industrial formula:one liquid gallon = [(8.31) x (SG) x (387 cu ft)] / (MW)Where:8.31 = pounds in gallon of waterSG = specific gravity of liquid being vaporized387 = At standard conditions, one pound-molecular weight of a material will evaporate to fill 387 cubic feet of space.MW= molecular weight of liquid being vaporizedThen using the approximate gasoline constants:one liquid gallon of gasoline = [(8.31 pounds in a gallon of water) x (.70 approx. specific gravity of gasoline) x (387 cu ft)] / (105 molecular weight of average gasoline)= 21.4 cubic feet of vapor volumeThere is 7.481 U.S. gallons in one cubic foot.So:one liquid gallon of gasoline = (21.4 cubic feet) x (7.481)= 160.4 gallons of saturated gasoline vaporThe vapor volume will vary based on the specific formulation of gasoline, pressure, and temperature.D.

Vapor pressure increases over a liquid in a closed container until?
Vapor pressure increases over a liquid in a closed container until the amount of vapor molecules rejoining the liquid equals the number leaving the liquid to form vapor. This is the characteristic vapor pressure of the substance.
What are traits to condensation?
Vapor clings together to form the liquid form of the gas. (:
What will happen when a vapor condense into liquid?
it become as in the form of bubbles
What involves changes of solid to vapor but no liquid is form?
sublimination
What is it called when water changes from vapor to liquid form?
Precipitation
