Pressure is defined as force per unit area. Air is a gas...it must also be exerting pressure. Called air pressure or atmospheric pressure.
The standard unit of atmospheric pressure (at sea level): 1 atmosphere = 760 mmHg = 101.3 kPa kilopascals millimeters of Mercury
Closed system (constant temperature) As liquid continues to vaporize, a point is reached: For everymolecule that vapourizes, one condenses When vapourization = condensation we have reached equilibrium.
dynamic equilibrium
Pressure of gas at equilibrium with its liquid in a closed system is known as the vapour pressure. characteristic physical property
A manometer measures vapour pressure. • Compares vapour pressure to air pressure. • Measures difference in height on both sides.
IMFs determine the rate of vapourization. Weak IMFs:more particles vapourized - higher vapour pressure – more volatile.
Heat increases particles kinetic energy - breaks IMFs. Increases rate of vapourization- pressure increases.
Boiling Point: When vapour pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. (1 atmosphere, 101.3 kPa, 760 mmHg)
Particles with strong IMFs require more energy (higher temperatures) to phase change to a gaswithenough pressure to equal atmospheric pressure. Any change in air pressure will produce a change in the boiling point.
Longer cooking time to prepare foods at higher altitudes. At lower pressure the water boils at a lower temperature – longer cooking time.
Standard air pressure is 101.3 kPa. • Boil: whenvapour pressure = air pressure Boiling Temp
