Wiki User
∙ 10y agoNo, vapour pressure is only the water, total pressure is all components of the air

What does it mean to boil something?
To heat a liquid until its vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.
What is true if a liquid and gas are equilibrium?
The rate of evaporation is the same as the rate of condensation.
What term defines the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure?
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure is called THE BOILING POINT.
Does the pressure of a liquid increase or decrease as it becomes a gas?
I'm not even sure what this question is supposed to mean. On the off chance that it might be the answer you're looking for: A liquid becomes a gas when its vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
When a liquid is boiling its vapor pressure and the room pressure are this is called?
.... equal ....
What is boiling in matter?
Phase shift from liquid to gas (vapor), where the vapor pressure is just equal to the atmospheric pressure.
What does it mean to boil something?
To heat a liquid until its vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.
The conversion of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure?
its boiling
The conversation of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure?
its boiling
What is true if a liquid and gas are equilibrium?
The rate of evaporation is the same as the rate of condensation.
Relation between atmospheric pressure and boiling point?
As atmospheric pressure increase so does the boiling pont, when atmos. pressure decreases so does boiling point. A liquid boils when its vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
What term defines the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure?
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure is called THE BOILING POINT.
What is the meaning of boiling in science terms?
Actually boiling is a point where the vapour pressure of any liquid (example: water) becomes equal to the surrounding pressure.
What is the temperature where the vapor pressure of a liquid equals atmospheric pressure?
The boiling point of the liquid.
When vapor pressure equals atomospheric pressure what is the liquid?
The Liquid will turn into gas. The boiling point corresponds to the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. If the liquid is open to the atmosphere (that is, not in a sealed vessel), it is not possible to sustain a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure, because the vapor will simply expand until its pressure equals that of the atmosphere.
Why does water boil at a lower temperature on a mountain than sea level?
The boiling of any liquid is tied in to the atmospheric pressure, in an open system. Every liquid has it's own vapor pressure, that is the balance between the vapor and liquid phase. When atmospheric pressure decreases, the vapor pressure increases since now there is greater space for the molecules of the liquid to come into vapor phase. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lesser, that is, the air is thinner. Thus the liquid can attain higher vapor pressure faster and boil at a lower temperature.
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure is the what?
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure is the boiling point. Evaporation is when vaporization of an uncontained liquid occurs.
