So, the definition for boiling commonly used by textbooks saying " when vapor pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure" is a little ambiguous? A better definition would be "potential for vaporization within the liquid exceeds the vapor pressure of the ambient atmosphere above the liquid and the...
Someone brought up when discussing origins of matter in Cosmology class. I know other people have thought about it before and have possible opinions/logic to it even if it is absurd (which it is but it does lie at the heart of the origin of matter). I suppose it could be construed as a...
That is where I'm confused at is in reference to saturated vapor pressure with regards to an open container. It seems impossible to reach saturated vapor pressure when there is an open container yet boiling still occurs within open containers. If boiling occurs when saturated vapor pressure...
What is left if all matter and energy is removed from a particular region in space?
For example, say I completely remove all of the matter and energy from a region of the air in front of me (also assuming no matter or energy moves in and out of this space once I do this), then what is left?
I've been confused about this for a while now and haven't found anything that directly addresses this problem. Please correct any faults you see in my reasoning.
My understanding of vapor pressure is that it is the pressure exerted by the vapor phase of a substance above the liquid phase...
