What is equilibrium vapor pressure?

It is vapor molecules in equilibrium with a liquid in a closed system exert a pressure proportional to the concentration of molecules in the vapor state.


Why the vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquids?

The vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquid because solids have fixed arrangement of molecules and between atom of solids their is strong intermolecular forces that held the molecules in place and the molecules of liquid have less intermolecular forces as compared to solids.


Why the relative lowering of vapour pressure is independent of temperature?

Relative lowering of vapour pressure is function of pressure of pure liquid and pressure of solutions when you increase temperature both the values increase and compensate the increase value, According to the Raoult's law, Psolvent = Xsolvent Po where Psolvent is the vapour pressure of the liquid solution, Xsolvent is its mole fraction in the solution and Po is the pure vapour pressure.


What happens to kinetic energy of gas particles as temperature decreases at a constant pressure?

kinetic energy increases with the increase in temperature is a postulate in kinetic molecular theory of matter.if the pressure is kept constant when temperature decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases resulting in decrease in the volume of the gas. Charle's Law state's that For a given mass of dry gas at constant pressure ,volume is directionally proportional to temperature ie V~T


The vapour pressure of pure water is 30mm the vapour pressure of 10 glucose solution?

The vapor pressure of a 10% glucose solution will be lower than that of pure water because the presence of the solute (glucose) lowers the vapor pressure of the solution compared to the pure solvent (water). The exact vapor pressure will depend on the concentration of the solution and the nature of the solute.

Does the evaporation in the evaporation column influence the total pressure?

evaporation as such influence on the total pressure. evaporation occurs when the total pressure is greater than the surface molecules vapour pressure. as the rate of evaporation increases , more vapour will be there at the top, and then the new total pressure will become the sum of the earlier total pressure and vapour pressure of the vapour evaporated. hence total pressure increases.............


Does vapour pressure include the partial pressure of water vapour in the atmosphere during boiling process?

The partial pressure of water (vapor) is included in the total pressure of the atmosphere (air) when boiling.


What is the condition which occurs when the atmospheric pressure is equal to the vapour pressure?

boiling


What would have more vapour pressure pure ice or sweet ice?

Both will have same vapour pressure as salt{NACL} would get trapped in ice and in solid iced state get seprated from pure ice crystals. so in case melting of ice in soln state pure water will have more vapour pressure but in solid state both will have same vapour pressure.


What is the unit of true vapour pressure?

The unit of true vapour pressure is typically expressed in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or kilopascals (kPa).

What is the vapour pressure of liquids?

Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a given temperature in a closed system. It is a measure of a liquid's tendency to evaporate. The higher the vapor pressure, the more volatile a liquid is.
