Temperature, pressure and phase changes in pure substance Flashcards
_________ is a process in which the molecules at the surface of the liquid escape to the vapour phase
Vapourization. The pressure inside the vessel will start increasing.
When more and more molecules go from the liquid state to the vapour
state, some molecules present in the vapour phase near the surface of the liquid go
back to the liquid state. This process is known as ___________.
Condensation
_________ is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapours in equilibrium with
the liquid at a specific temperature
Vapour pressure
when is dynamic equilibrium attained?
When the rate of vapourization becomes equal with the rate of condensation
when the vapour pressure becomes equal to the external pressure, the liquid starts to ________
boil
when the external pressure is equal to 1 atm, the boiling point is known as ________
normal boiling point
