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.

What changes will decrease the total amount of gaseous solute able to be dissolved in a liter of liquid water?

Decreasing the temperature and increasing the pressure will decrease the total amount of gaseous solute able to be dissolved in a liter of liquid water. Conversely, increasing the temperature and decreasing the pressure will increase the amount of gaseous solute that can be dissolved.


What happens when you squash liquid?

When you apply pressure to a liquid by squashing it, the molecules in the liquid get closer together, increasing the density of the liquid. This can lead to an increase in pressure within the liquid, and if the pressure becomes too great, the liquid can eventually turn into a solid.


What is ideas about vapour pressure to explain how impurities increase the boiling point of water?

The presence of impurities on the surface of water disrupts the hydrogen bond network, causing a decrease in the rate of evaporation of water molecules. This reduction in evaporation leads to a decrease in vapor pressure, resulting in the need for higher temperatures to reach equilibrium between liquid and vapor phases, hence increasing the boiling point of the water.


What effect would a decrease or increase in barometric pressure have on the boiling point?

If you were to travel to Denver, the mile high city, air pressure is reduced. This makes it easier for gas molecules to escape the liquid, hence the boiling point lowers. On the other hand, when pressure increases, gases have a harder time escaping the liquid so the boiling point must increase.


What is the best definition of condensation?

Condensation is the process by which a gas or vapor changes into a liquid state due to a decrease in temperature or an increase in pressure. It is the opposite of evaporation, where a liquid changes into a gaseous state.

What does Bernoulli's principles states?

How do you get from a liquid to a gas?

To get from a liquid to a gas, you need to increase the temperature of the liquid to its boiling point. This added heat energy breaks the intermolecular forces holding the liquid molecules together, allowing them to escape into the atmosphere as a gas. This process is called vaporization or evaporation.


What is the term for the Boiling of a liquid caused by decrease in pressure rather than by an increase in temperature?

This is known as "boiling point elevation." It occurs when the boiling point of a liquid increases due to a decrease in pressure, such as at higher altitudes.

What will happen when we start putting pressure and compress a gas enclosed in a cylinder and do you think increase and decrease in pressure can change the state of matter?

At high pressure the gas become a liquid.


What happens when you squash liquid?

When you apply pressure to a liquid by squashing it, the molecules in the liquid get closer together, increasing the density of the liquid. This can lead to an increase in pressure within the liquid, and if the pressure becomes too great, the liquid can eventually turn into a solid.


Is there a limit to the amount of gas that can be dissolved in a liquid?

Not really, since you can always increase the pressure and dissolve more. You do reach limits when the liquid ceases to be recognized as a liquid, or the gas itself becomes a liquid
