What happens when liquids are exposed to air?
It evaporates :)
What is the accurate definition of vapor pressure?
Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a given temperature in a closed system. Vapor pressure is also known as equilibrium vapor pressure.
How can the boiling point of a liquid be raised without adding soluble impurity?
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, or the pressure above the liquid. So, to increase the boiling point without adding a solute, one can increase the pressure above the liquid.
The pressure above a liquid in a sealed container is?
Vapor Pressure.
What is the name for the temperature when liquid turns into a gas?
It's called the boiling point. It is the temp where the vapor pressure of the "liquid" is equal to the air pressure around (above) it. This is when the liquid [water] reaches 100 degrees Cecilius [at sea level].

What does Henry's law state?
At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
What is it called when air pressure on earth decreases?
As a person climbs to a higher point on earth, the air pressure decreases because there is less air above you. ... The phenomenon is called "hydrostatic equilibrium".
What is steam in thermodynamics?
Saturated steam is gas-phase water in equilibrium with liquid water at the same temperature and pressure. If the temperature is above the saturation point and/or the pressure is below the saturation pressure, the steam is "superheated steam". In either case it is a gas. There are some conventions where saturated steam along with some fraction of liquid water in equilibrium with it is still referred to as steam even if not all of it is gas, as long as at least some of it is gas.
Why atmospheric pressure varies with height in a different way from the way liquid pressure varies with depth.?
For the same reason. The liquid above the location considered, or the atmosphere above the position considered, helps contribute to the pressure; if there is more liquid or atmosphere above, there is more pressure.
How can the boiling point of a liquid be raised without adding soluble impurity?
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, or the pressure above the liquid. So, to increase the boiling point without adding a solute, one can increase the pressure above the liquid.
What is the highest point above the equilibrium position called?
crest
What is the Vapor pressure of Liquid Oxygen at 100 Kelvin?
The temperature of 100K is over boiling point 90.19 K at standard (air at sea level) pressure (101.325 kPa, 760 mmHg) so liquid oxygen is 'boiling' but not in equilibrium with its pressure = stand. PTo my best knowledge data of 'overheated' (above boiling point) liquid oxygen are not easily available, may be at 'liquid gas manifacturers' sites or data sheets.
The pressure above a liquid in a sealed container is?
Vapor Pressure.
What happens at a liquid's boiling point?
Boiling. A liquid boils at a temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure of the gas above it.
What is the name for the temperature when liquid turns into a gas?
It's called the boiling point. It is the temp where the vapor pressure of the "liquid" is equal to the air pressure around (above) it. This is when the liquid [water] reaches 100 degrees Cecilius [at sea level].
