Vapor pressure is just a measure of water vapor in the air. The amount of moisture air can hold increases rapidly as temperature increases, and it is very warm in the tropics. Additionally, converging air in the tropics tends to generate a lot of rain, which provides plentiful sources for evapotranspiration outside of the tropical oceans.

Is refrigerant leaving a compressor in a cars air conditioning system high pressure vapor high pressure liquid or low pressure vapor?
high pressure vapor
What is the result of very high numbers of vapor particles striking an object at the same time?
Vapor Pressure
What is the effect of the temperature on the vapour pressure?
When temperature is increased the amount of molecules evaporated is increasef and as a consequence condensation is also increased so vapour pressure increases.
What happens to vapor pressure if sugar is added to a solution?
When you add a teaspoon of honey to water with vapor pressure, it will reduce the vapor pressure. The sugar in the honey leads to the pressure going down.
What is a hydrated crystal that has a water vapor pressure greater than the vapor pressure of air is called?
A delisquiscent.
Is refrigerant leaving a compressor in a cars air conditioning system high pressure vapor high pressure liquid or low pressure vapor?
high pressure vapor
What changes a high pressure vapor to a high pressure liquid?
Metering divice
How the compressor working?
Refrigerant enters the compressor inlet as a low pressure vapor. The compressor increases the pressure, and discharges it as a high pressure vapor.
What does AC compressor do?
Cycles refrigerant through the system and changes the state of the refrigerant from a low pressure vapor to a high pressure vapor.
What component of a refrigeration system changes a high pressure vapor to a high pressure liquid?
Metering device
A liquid with a high vapor pressure is said to be what?
A volatile liquid
What is the result of very high numbers of vapor particles striking an object at the same time?
Vapor Pressure
Explain why vapor pressure increases as temperature increases?
Vapor pressure increases as temperatures increase because water will evaporate in hot weather. This evaporation rises increasing the vapor pressure. This is why many areas have high humidity in the summer.
What is refrigerant as it leaves an auto AC compressor?
High pressure vapor.
Is high pressure moister than low pressure?
High pressure is associated with cool, dense air--which can hold LESS wator vapor than warm air. Low pressure would be "moister" than high pressure--meaning it would carry a higher percentage of water vapor or have a higher relative humidity.
How does a solution containing a chemical with a high vapor pressure be low in volatility?
Well vapor pressure also depends on the mole fraction of a substance. Vapor pressure= Mole fraction* Total pressure of the solution. If the Mole fraction of a volatile substance in the solution is decreased its vapor pressure increases. Thus the volatility of the substance barely plays the role. Of course, if the solution has no volatile substance there cannot be any vapor pressure in the container.
What is the function of the compressor in air conditioning?
It compresses air... No, that's incorrect, actually. It compresses refrigerant from a low pressure vapor to a high pressure vapor. It also creates the pressure which circulates the refrigerant through the system.
