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.

Why boiling point decrease with decrease with pressure?

in short, Atoms must vibrate to break their bonds I.E. from solid state, to liquid state to gas state. with a HIGH pressure the atoms must vibrate faster to become hotter to over come the pressure surrounding it. as pressure decreases, less energy is needed to break the bonds and over come the surrounding pressure, and with that a LOWER amount of energy is needed in LOWER pressure. HOPE THIS HELPS ;-)


How does temperature effect vapour pressure of a liquid?

as the temperature increase the liquid becomes less condensed and the pressure decreases. as its molecule lossen they move faster, the liquid will turn into a gas. if the temperature decreases then it will do the opposite. it would slow down the molecules, and increase the pressure, making a solid.


How can the boiling point of a liquid be raised without adding soluble impurity?

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, or the pressure above the liquid. So, to increase the boiling point without adding a solute, one can increase the pressure above the liquid.


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

The boiling point is the point at which the vapor pressure of the liquid reaches atmospheric pressure. So, if you add impurities (solutes) to the pure liquid, the theory is that those molecules get in the way of the solvent molecules, and at the surface that results in a LOWER vapor pressure of the liquid. This then results in an INCREASE in the boiling point, because remember that boiling point is when vapor pressure = atmospheric pressure.


How can you make a gas into a liquid?

You must either increase the temperature of the liquid or decrease the pressure acting on the liquid (i.e., decrease the air pressure).

What does Bernoulli's principles states?

Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a liquid results in a decrease in pressure, and a decrease in the speed of a liquid results in an increase in pressureBernoulli's Principle states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by that fluid decreases.

Does speed increase or decrease as the pressure of a moving liquid increases?

for ideal fluid pv=nRT, so when pressure increase velocity decreases since vel. is inversly proportional to pressure....

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.


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


Is a gas's solubility faster in a high pressure liquid?

If the pressure of the gas increase, the solubility in a liquid increase.
