When all the liquid has evaporated the vapor totally fills the florence flask and exerts a pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure why?

I'm guessing you are analyzing an experiment where you are determining the molecular mass of an organic liquid. You heated the flask and the liquid evaporated filling the flask, but escaping through a small hole in the covering.
1. Gases always fill the container. So, if the liquid evaporated and formed a gas (vapor), it filled the flask,
2. The pressure on the outside the flask is air pressure. since the vapor isn't pushing off the cover, the pressure is not higher than the air pressure. But since the extra escaped, it cannot be less than the air pressure. Therefore, it is the same.

What kind of liquid pressure is exerted at equilibrium and is dependent on temperature only?
vapor-novanet.who ever answered dhis is totally awesome.. i gotta agree. saved my butt
1 lbs pressure is how much psi?
The acronym PSI stands for "Pounds per Square Inch," and is the common unit of measurement for pressure. It can be understood as the amount of force that is exerted on an area of one square inch. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 PSI The acronym PSI stands for "Pounds per Square Inch," and is the common unit of measurement for pressure. It can be understood as the amount of force that is exerted on an area of one square inch. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 PSI
What becomes of a waves energy when the wave is totally reflected at a boundry?
The waves energy is totally reflected. Conservation of energy.
How many psi are there in 3 tons?
3 tons is irrelevant to how much psi it is. It depends on what the 3 tons is being used for. PSI is 'pounds per square inch', which is pressure, while 3 tons is just a measurement of weight. They are two totally different measurement tools, so it leaves the question unanswerable. None - one is a pressure, one is a weight - you cannot convert one to the other.
What is apparent weight?
Apparent weight of an object is the weight of an object when the object is partially or totally immersed in a fluid{liquid/gas} normally apparent weight of an object is less than the real weight of an object due to an upward force {upthrust} which is produced by the pressure difference inside the fluids.
Why do scientist us barometers?
They use barometers to measure the atmospheric pressure. The lower the pressure the more likely there is weather coming. The higher the air pressure the more likely the skies will either become mostly sunny or totally clear off and bring sunny skies.
What result would be expected if a salt solution for 2 days?
The water is partially or totally evaporated, depending on the solution concentration.
What is atmospheric pressure on the top of a wing in flight?
That totally varies based on the angle of the wing and air speed of the wing. It will typically be considerably less then normal atmospheric pressure.More Information:The atmospheric pressure on a wing in flight is subject to many variables and is difficult to assess. It varies, mostly due to wing shape and angle, and air speed. The important thing is that the pressure on the bottom of the wing is greater than the pressure on the top. This pressure differential results from the shape and angle of the wing, and the air flow across it. However, regardless of how this pressure differential is generated, it is called lift, and it's what makes flight possible. For example, as an airplane moves down the runway for take-off, it generates more and more lift as its speed increases. When the lift is sufficient to overcome gravity and friction (drag), flight happens.
Why doesn't air pressure crush human beings standing at sea level?
Millions of years ago, there were two kinds of life on Earth: -- One kind had bodies that had no internal pressure pushing outward. -- The other kind had bodies with internal pressure, which pushed outward and canceled the inward atmospheric pressure. The first kind of life only lasted about 3 minutes, before it was totally squashed into extinction by atmospheric pressure. Hence, that kind didn't last long enough to be fruitful and multiply, and the only kind of life that remained on Earth was the kind with internal pressure to balance atmospheric pressure and avoid getting crushed. Some examples of that kind of life on Earth today include elephants, cats, ants, birds, snakes, and human beings. In fact, every form of life on Earth today is descended from the first ones that were smart enough to develop internal pressure to push back against the atmosphere. That may sound perfect, but it's not all good. In these modern times, at the dawn of the Space Age, it means that when we go into space, we have to wear these bulky, ugly space suits, that have atmospheric pressure inside them. If we don't, and we go into space anyway, where there's no atmospheric pressure, we blow up like a balloon.

Which explains the relationship between the gas pressure gradient of the atmosphere and the alveolar air that allows inhalation?
Sub atmospheric pressure in the lungs is generated through sudden expansion caused by the diaphragm and accessory muscles; this sudden and brief pressure gradient is recognized by airflow from the atmosphere into the lungs until they are filled. Once the lungs are filled and achieve a greater than atmospheric pressure another pressure gradient is established and with the assistance of elastic recoil allow exhalation to occur. This end of exhalation provides a temporary period of equilibrium between the lung and outside atmosphere where no air flow occurs. The lungs never totally deflate. The remaining volume left in the lungs after passive exhalation is referred to as the Functional Residual Capacity or FRC. A person can forcefully exhale a portion of their FRC but cannot eliminate all of it; a remaining portion referred to as the residual volume remains. A combination of factors involving surface tension of the alveoli and 0 pressure gradient prevent the elimination of RV.
Does pressure gauges have electronic parts?
There are different kinds of sensors and guages which measure pressure. The first ones were mechanical. The next generation were a combination of mechanical and electrical parts, and now, some pressure detecting systems have no moving parts, and are totally electronic.
What is the song rabbit heart about?
I tink i could be wrong but looks like (florence and the machines rabbit heart) is about having to sacrafice somthing but been afraid of sacraficing it and saying she has to be brave about it, or i could be totally wrong :/ :) tash :)
Is 137 60 high or low blood pressure?
It totally depends on your age. Regarding your age of 50, a blood pressure of 136/60 mm Hg is normal.
How much pressure can a submarine withstand?
It's totally dependent on the hull type, material construction, and overall design, but in general, just before a submarine reaches crush depth is as much sea pressure as it can handle.
What does it mean when your nipple is sore when you move?
Your nipples are bound to hurt if forced with pressure and for that know that its totally natural due to sensitivity in the tissue no worries!"
Is oxygen a thin material?
Oxygen at STP is a gas. It's thickness is totally dependent upon environmental factors such as gravity, temperature and pressure.
