Water does not behave exactly like an ideal gas because water is a polar molecule. And, the polar molecules of water, if properly oriented in space, have strong attraction to one another, and may form a hydrogen bond and condense back into liquid form. Also, when a gaseous water molecule has a collision with liquid water, if it is oriented in the right way (i.e. an oxygen atom comes into contact with a hydrogen atom), it will move back into the liquid phase. So, because water molecules move back into the liquid phase much more easily than ideal gas molecules, water vapor does not behave exactly as an ideal gas would.

What volume is occupied by 150g of water vapor at STP?
At STP water vapor will behave as an ideal gas so the volume can be found by rearranging the ideal gas law to solve for volume: PV = nRT => V = nRT/P IUPAC defines STP as: P = 100 kPa (14.504 psi, 0.986 atm) T = 273.15 K (0 °C, 32 °F) and R = 8.31447 kPa·liter/gmole/K n = 150 g water/(18.01528 g water/gmole water) = 8.33 gmol water So V = 189 liters
What is the gas state of water in two words?
Dihydrogen Monoxide.
Is water vapor a mixture or pure substance?
Water vapor is a gas, not a mixture. Water vapor is just the gas form of water, it is not a mixture.Water Vapor is a compound made by bonding Hydrogen and Oxygen.
Is water vapor a compound or an element?
water vapor is a compound.
The gaseous phase of water is called?
Water cannot exist in gaseous state - water vapour is small droplets of water suspended in air, not water as a gas
Is water an ideal fluid?
Ideal Fluid:An incompressible fluid that has no internal viscosity.
How Water vapor that is condensed into small droplets?
your question doesnt make sense idiot

What form of water is the most abundant at any time in the water cycle?
water vapor
What is the gas state of water in two words?
Dihydrogen Monoxide.
What do you called the hot gas or water vapor?
The process of water turning into gas (water vapor) is called evaporation.Heating water into water vapor is called boiling. High-temperature water vapor is called steam.The water has become water vapor.
What is water vapor is?
Water vapor is simply water in the form of a gas. Liquid water turns into water vapor through a process called evaporation.
What is the volume of water vapor?
You can treat this as an Ideal Gas Law problem.See the Related Questions link to the left of this answer:"How do you solve an Ideal Gas Law problem?"
What does water vapor become when it evaporates?
when water evaporates it condenses and becomes water vapor:)
Is a water a vapor solid?
No. Water vapor is a gas.
Water vapor is water in the form of a?
Water vapor is water in the form of a gas.
What happen to the water in each process in water cycle?
(evaporation) water becomes vapor, (condensation)vapor is still vapor, (precipitation) vapor becomes water again...
