What are the different kinds of volatile liquids?
Liquid that has a high boiling point. A liquid that releases molecules as a vapor.
What is Nonvolatile solutes?
A liquid that is slow to evaporate.
What are the properties of volatile liquids?
Liquids is another state of matter. Their motecutes are farther a part so they more freely.This makes liquid flow.
What gas is in aerosol cans?
The typical gas used as a propellant in aerosol solvent based paint cans is Propane, Chemical Abstract Number 74-98-6. The propellant used will depend on the contents of the can, as it must be a chemical that is compatible with the contents. Most liquids can be put into an aerosol can. The liquid is placed into the can, the liquid is diluted to make it thin enough to spray through the nozzel of the spray can and then a compressed gas propellant is added to expel the contents of the container in the form of an aerosol.
Way is the most combustible aerosol?
Many different powders or liquids when suspended in air (an aerosol) in the right concentration can be explosive or combustible Generally the powders or liquids contain carbon-based molecules, for example, custard powder or petroleum. Look up exploding custard powder on the web or Youtube.
Why volatile liquids are often used as propellants in aerosol spry cans of such things as paints and deodorants?
Because non-volatile liquids don't work.
Why are volatile liquids often used in aerosol spray cans?
What kind of liquids are you talking about? ... and why do you mean volatile? Do you mean flammable? The question refers to the propellants used in aerosol spray cans. If aerosol cans were filled with compressed gas, they would have to be designed to withstand extremely high pressures, which would not be cost-effective. Instead, liquid propellants (usually butane, isobutane or propane) are used, which allow a much larger amount of propellant to be stored, at a reasonable pressure. These liquid propellants are "volatile" in the sense that a small amount of the liquid evaporates every time some of the gas is released, so that the vapor and liquid stay in equilibrium. As it happens, most of these liquid propellants are also flammable, but the term "volatile" refers to their tendency to evaporate.
Unlike other kinds of liquids volatile liguids?
Unlike other kinds of liquid, volatile liquids vaporize easily. Generally, liquids that evaporate at room temperature or lower are considered volatile liquids.
