Water to steam H2O(l) <--> H2O(g) Steam to water
The solid->gas transition is called sublimation; the gas->solid transition is called deposition. The reason this happens is, essentially, "because that's how things are". It all depends on where on the phase diagram the material happens to be.
water
Water is the only substance that commonly exists as a solid, liquid, and gas in Earth's atmosphere. Solid water is ice, liquid water is water, and gaseous water is water vapor.
Water is the only substance found naturally in the atmosphere as a solid (ice crystals in clouds), a liquid (raindrops), and a gas (water vapor).
H2O is water. It can be all three. As a solid, it is ice. As a liquid, it is water in the sense of bottled water. As a gas it is water vapor (an example of water vapor is steam).
To convert into vapor means to cause a substance to change from a solid or liquid state into a gaseous state. For example, boiling water vaporizes into steam......dry ice (solid CO2) vaporizes directly into CO2 gas
A vapor changing into a solid goes through a process called deposition. One example of this process is frost forming on leaves.
The root word for "vaporizer" is "vapor," which refers to a substance in a gaseous state. A vaporizer is a device that converts a liquid or solid substance into vapor for inhalation.
No. Vapor is a substance in its gaseous state. Ice is water in its solid state.
Sublimation is the phase change in which a substance changes from a solid directly to a gas or vapor without passing through the liquid phase. This process occurs when the substance's vapor pressure exceeds that of its solid form at a particular temperature.
To 'convert into vapor' means to change something from the liquid or solid state into a gas. Examples: boiling water (liquid to gas) or dry ice (a solid turning into gas).
Vapor typically refers to a substance in gas form that is typically at a lower temperature than its boiling point. It can also refer to the gaseous state of a substance that is normally a liquid or solid at room temperature.
It is the speed in which a substance changes from a solid to liquid and a liquid to vapor
"There was no substance to his arguments." "The vapor was without substance." "The substance was a solid powder that seemed to react poorly to heat."
a substance diffused or suspended in the air, especially one normally liquid or solid.
A substance that is in the gas phase at a temperature at which it would normally be a solid or liquid
A substance is called a vapor when it is in the gaseous phase at a temperature below its critical temperature. Above this critical temperature, the substance is in the supercritical fluid phase rather than a distinct gas and vapor phases.
