AI Thread Summary
Vapor density is distinct from the density of the solution itself. A vapor density of 1.3 indicates that the vapor produced by the solution is 1.3 times denser than air. The unit for vapor density is typically expressed in grams per cubic meter (g/m³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). The original inquiry lacks specific units, which could lead to confusion. Understanding the nature of the solution in question is crucial for accurate interpretation of its vapor density.

For a solution It says; VAPOR DENSITY: 1.3
Is VAPOR DENSITY the same as Density of that solution? And what is the unit of 1.3?

Hope for inputs.


Thanks

Vapor density of 1.3 means, in my opinion, that this solution has 1.3 times more of that molecule in the gas phase than the solution in the equilibrium.
 
Vapor density refers to the density of a vapor, in units such as g/m^3 or kg/m^3. Since you don't indicate any units, I think it means something different here. I found this URL:

According to that convention, your solution would produce a vapor with a density 1.3 times that of air. What IS the solution? Do you know?
