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.

Is the partial pressure of a liquid or solid in a closed container measured at equilibrium at a given temperature?
vapor pressure
When a gas is dissolved into a liquid what happens when the pressure increases?
More gas dissolves into the liquid.
Is the vapor pressure of a liquid a linear function of temperature?
If the temperature of the liquid is raised, more molecules escape to the vapor until equilibrium is once again established. The vapor pressure of a liquid, therefore, increases with increasing temperature.
The pressure above a liquid in a sealed container is?
Vapor Pressure.
Does Increasing the pressure of a liquid lower its boiling point?
The boiling point of a liquid increases when atmospheric pressure is increased.
What can handle more pressure a small closed container or a large closed container if the amount of liquid placed in it is the same?
small container
Is the partial pressure of a liquid or solid in a closed container measured at equilibrium at a given temperature?
vapor pressure
Vapor pressure is measured when a liquid and its vapor are?
The pressure exerted by the gas in equilibrium with a solid or liquid in a closed container at a given temperature is called the vapor pressure
What forces the liquid upward in a straw?
when it is placed in a container and it decreases moving uo . pressure due to the liquid increases with depth from the surface of the liquid
When atmospheric pressure increases what happpens to the boiling temperature of a liquid?
The boiling temperature of a liquid increases as the gas pressure a the liquid's surface increases.
What happens if you heat a liquid in a closed container?
Pressure in the container gets higher because of the steam deriving from water, and if you do not let the steam out it will probably explode in a short time.
How does a fluid-filled thermometer works?
As the temperature of a fluid increases, its volume increases, and as the temperature decreases, its volume decreases. Since the liquid in a thermometer is in a closed container, the fluid rises when the temperature increases and lowers when the temperature decreases.
When a gas is dissolved into a liquid what happens when the pressure increases?
More gas dissolves into the liquid.
Would you consider atmospheric pressure when finding the pressure of a liquid in a closed container?
pressure is usually measured relative to atmospheric this is called gauge pressure. if you compare against absolute zero pressure (vacuum) this is called absolute pressure.
Why do you think water from the different holes have different trajectories?
the trajectory of water is used as indicator of pressure. The longer the trajectory, the greater is the pressure at that point of the liquid column. Water pressure at any point in a closed container is dependent on the height of the liquid above it.
What is ferrostatic pressure?
The pressure exerted by the pressure head of liquid steel in a container at bottom surface of the container is known as ferro static pressure.
Is the vapor pressure of a liquid a linear function of temperature?
If the temperature of the liquid is raised, more molecules escape to the vapor until equilibrium is once again established. The vapor pressure of a liquid, therefore, increases with increasing temperature.
