The equilibrium vapour pressure is typically the pressure exerted by a liquid .... it is A FUNCTION of temperature...
Explanation:
By way of example, chemists and physicists habitually use
P
saturated vapour pressure
...where
P
SVP
is the vapour pressure exerted by liquid water. At
100
∘
C
,
P
SVP
=
1
⋅
a
t
m
. Why?
Well, because this is the normal boiling point of water: i.e. the conditions of pressure (i.e. here
1
⋅
a
t
m
) and temperature, here
100
∘
C
, at which the VAPOUR PRESSURE of the liquid is ONE ATMOSPHERE...and bubbles of vapour form directly in the liquid. As an undergraduate you should commit this definition, or your text definition, to memory...
At lower temperatures, water exerts a much lower vapour pressure...but these should often be used in calculations...especially when a gas is collected by water displacement. Tables of
saturated vapour pressure
are available.
The given above pretty much states already that with the presence of the calcium carbonate which acts as the buffer will allow the solution to withstand changes in acidity. The greater the amount, the higher chances that it will be able to withstand the said changes. Therefore, if Lake X had greater ppm of CaCO3 then, it will be able to withstand greater amount of acid rain.
Answer: c.They have a unique set of properties that can be used as identifiers.
Explanation:
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.
Compounds can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.
Example: Water
Compounds have different properties than the elements it is made up of.
Thus the most accurate description of compounds is that they have a unique set of properties that can be used as identifiers.
