Surface Tension
A measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow.
Viscosity
This may be
considered as a measure of the “escaping” tendency of molecules to go from the
liquid to the vapor state.
Vapor Pressure
The temperature at which a liquid boils wherein the vapor pressure of a
liquid is equal to the external pressure
Boiling Point
It is the energy (usually in kilojoules) needed to vaporize 1 mole of a liquid
at a certain temperature.
Molar heat of vaporization
a graphic representation that shows a stable period.
Plateau
a term coined to describe a dynamic state in which two or more opposing
processes are taking place simultaneously at the same rate.
equilibrium
a point or location where temperature and pressure record the highest rate
with signifying phase boundary between gas and liquid.
