Vapor pressure is measured when a liquid and its vapor are?

in a state of dynamic equilibrium at a constant temperature. At this point, the rate of vaporization equals the rate of condensation, resulting in a constant pressure above the liquid known as the vapor pressure.


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 does Henry's law state?

At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.


What is the highest point above the equilibrium position called?

The highest point above the equilibrium position is called the amplitude. It represents the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position in either direction.


The pressure above a liquid in a sealed container is?

equal to the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the weight of the liquid above the point of interest.


Can vapor pressure occur in open container?

Yes, vapor pressure can occur in an open container. Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its condensed phase in a closed system. In an open container, vapor can still form above a liquid or solid substance, but it will not reach equilibrium as it can escape into the surrounding environment.


What is the Vapor pressure of Liquid Oxygen at 100 Kelvin?

The temperature of 100K is over boiling point 90.19 K at standard (air at sea level) pressure (101.325 kPa, 760 mmHg) so liquid oxygen is 'boiling' but not in equilibrium with its pressure = stand. PTo my best knowledge data of 'overheated' (above boiling point) liquid oxygen are not easily available, may be at 'liquid gas manifacturers' sites or data sheets.


What is steam in thermodynamics?

Saturated steam is gas-phase water in equilibrium with liquid water at the same temperature and pressure. If the temperature is above the saturation point and/or the pressure is below the saturation pressure, the steam is "superheated steam". In either case it is a gas. There are some conventions where saturated steam along with some fraction of liquid water in equilibrium with it is still referred to as steam even if not all of it is gas, as long as at least some of it is gas.


Why atmospheric pressure varies with height in a different way from the way liquid pressure varies with depth.?

For the same reason. The liquid above the location considered, or the atmosphere above the position considered, helps contribute to the pressure; if there is more liquid or atmosphere above, there is more pressure.


What is Henry's Law?

At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid. See the link below for more information.


What are the factors on which liquid pressure depends?

Liquid pressure depends on the depth of the liquid, the density of the liquid, and the gravitational acceleration acting on the liquid. The pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above and is directly proportional to the density of the liquid.


Why does liquid exert equal pressure at the same depth?

Liquid exerts equal pressure at the same depth due to the principle of hydrostatic equilibrium. This means that the weight of the liquid above a certain depth creates a pressure that is transmitted evenly in all directions. As a result, the pressure at a particular depth in a liquid is the same regardless of the shape or volume of the container holding the liquid.
