Properties of Vapor

Vapor refers to a gas phase at a temperature where the same substance can also exist in the liquid or solid state, below the critical temperature of the substance.
Gas refers to a compressible fluid phase.
Fixed gases are gases for which no liquid or solid can form at the temperature of the gas.
A liquid or solid does not have to boil to release a vapor.
Vapor is responsible for cloud formation and condensation.

The vapor pressure is the equilibrium pressure from a liquid or a solid at a specific temperature.
The equilibrium vapor pressure of a liquid or solid is not affected by the amount of contact with the liquid or solid interface.
The normal boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure is equal to normal atmospheric pressure.
For two-phase systems, the vapor pressure of the individual phases are equal.
The vapor pressure follows Raoults law in the absence of stronger inter-species attractions between molecules.

Invisible water vapor condenses to form visible water droplets called mist.
Perfumes contain chemicals that vaporize at different temperatures and rates.
Atmospheric water vapor can condense into small liquid droplets and form fog, mist, and haar.
Mercury-vapor lamps and sodium vapor lamps produce light from excited states of atoms.
Flammable liquids do not burn when ignited, but the vapor cloud above the liquid can burn within certain concentration limits.

The amount of vapor present is quantified by the partial pressure of the gas.
Vapors obey the barometric formula in a gravitational field.
Vapor can be measured using various techniques and instruments.
Vapor concentration can be determined for different purposes, such as safety assessments or chemical analysis.
Vapor measurements are important in understanding atmospheric conditions and industrial processes.

Contrails, also known as vapor trails, are long, thin artificial clouds formed behind aircraft.
Dilution is a chemistry concept related to vapor.
Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs from the surface of a liquid.
Henry's law is a gas law that relates to the proportionality of dissolved gas.
