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.
What is the boiling point of a compound?
as far as i know the B.Pt. is defined as " when the vopour pressure of the liquid is equal to the atomospheric pressure then it is said to be the boiling point of the liquid." similarly "when the vapuor pressure of the solid is equal to atmospheric pressure then its corresponding temperature is called melting point of that compound." so a compound may be a low melting one but the same compound may be ahigh boiling liquid. this is due to the inter & intra molecular forces that exists in the molecules. so there is no specific equation that a compound having a m.p. of 102c will have a b.pt. of some particular value.
How are the characteristic properties of a piece of ice are different from its other properties?
The other properties of ice are water a liquid state and water vapor a gas state. So from what I've just said I think you can figure the rest out.
What is the difference between liquid and solid medium?
In wave motion, the media are said to be liquid and solid according to the states of media themselves, that is, if a medium is in solid state then the medium is said to be solid medium and if the medium is in liquid state, then the medium is said to be liquid medium.
What is the term for when a solid does not dissolve into a liquid?
This substance is insoluble in the liquid.
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.
What can be said of a boiling point of a liquid?
At the boiling point a liquid is transformed in a gas; it is a change of phase, a physical process.
Why rainwater evaporates when it is not 100 degrees Celsius?
Water evaporates at almost any temperature. However, at higher temperatures, the vapor pressure is higher. It is said to be boiling when the vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure.
When a liquid is thick such as honey it is said to have a high?
high viscocity

Is low pressure or high pressure stronger?
High pressure is stronger. Pressure is caused by the gas particles in a container hitting the sides of said container. At high pressure, the particles hit the sides of the container much more and therefore are pushing harder on the sides.
What causes the high surface tension and low vapor pressure of water?
Hydrogen bonding causes the inward force that minimizes the surface area of water, and the tendency of water molecules escaping this bond to become vapor is slim and/or slow, thus creating it's low pressure.
My doctor asked me if a patient of ours had diabetes. I said no just high blood pressure. He said that is diabetes. Does having high blood pressure mean you have diabetes?
No. Diabetes is just one of many causes of high blood pressure. Your doctor must have been joking, or at least i hope he was otherwise your patients should be scared.....
What is a change between solid and gas?
If something changes directly from a solid to a gas, it is said to sublime. This happens at time with ice, for example, were, instead of melting to a liquid it converts directly to water vapor.
Whats the wind pattern around a high pressure area?
The wind pattern around a high pressure area is clockwise (in the northern hemisphere). It is said to resemble a spinning disk, as opposed to a spinning sphere.
What organs does high blood pressure affects?
I started having high bp. I have one kidney. Doctor said high bp could kill my one kidney.
Are storms often caused by low air pressure or high air pressure?
low air pressure because it said in the book general science that almost all stors are caused by low air pressure.
