What is the relation between the density of vapor and the

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between the density of vapor, mass, and temperature of alkali metals when they are vaporized. The ideal gas law, represented by the equation PV=nRT, is highlighted as a key tool for understanding this relationship. In this equation, pressure (P) is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas (n) and the absolute temperature (T), while being inversely proportional to the absolute volume (V). This indicates that as temperature increases, pressure also increases if volume remains constant, which is crucial for analyzing the behavior of vaporized alkali metals.

hi guys

my question is

if you have few grams of alkali metals and vapored it , what is the mathematical equation that links between these variables density vapor , the mass and the temperture ??

can you help me ?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
If the metal is hot enough to be in the gaseous state, you can treat it as an ideal gas.

sorry, can u explain how ??
 
You do know the ideal gas equation?
 
PV=nRT where:
P= absolute pressure
V= absolute volume
T= absolute temperature
n= number of moles of gas
R= universal gas constant (8.3145 J/mol*K)

From the equation, you can see that pressure (P) is directly proportional to the concentration or number of molecules (n) and the temperature of the system (T), and at the same time it is inversely proportional to the volume of the system, V. Does that help any?
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
