Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a liquid's vapor. As the temperature rises, the kinetic energy of molecules are moving more and more rapidly. Thus, the pressure of the vapor phase increases.

What does effusion mean in chemistry?

Effusion in chemistry refers to the process by which a gas passes through a small opening into a vacuum or low-pressure region. This typically occurs when gas molecules under high pressure escape through a small hole into an area of lower pressure. Effusion is governed by the kinetic theory of gases and the Root-Mean-Square speed of the gas particles.

What does bar mean in chemistry?

"Bar" is approximately the pressure of earth's atmosphere at sea level. Multiple bars are multiple normal air pressures. Three bar is three times the air pressure at sea level, etc. Technically a bar is defined as 100 kPa, which is very slightly less than standard atmospheric pressure (1 atmosphere = 1.01325 bar).
