Answer:

Explanation:

Water vapor is when water molecules are present in the air, while steam is water heated to the point that it turns into gas. In simplified science, both are referred to as the gaseous state of water. Steam is usually white or translucent in nature, while water vapor can be clear or translucent.

Steam is simply, water vapor. Hence, the key difference between steam and vapor is that steam is the gaseous state of water whereas vapor is the gaseous state of any substance. Moreover, steam is typically invisible while the vapor of some substances is colorful.

Answer:

Hello There!!

Explanation:

Yes,they are different.

The difference between steam and water vapor is that water vapor is typically the same temperature as the air that is present while steam is above the boiling point of water. Vapour and steam are both gaseous states of matter.

hope this helps,have a great day!!

Express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

$PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]$

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

a = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

b = 0.03464 L/mol

Explanation:

In the given question, we need to express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms of the parameters a and b. Therefore:

Using the van deer Waals equation of state:

$P = \frac{RT}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{V_{m} ^{2} }$

With further simplification, we have:

$P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} ^{2} }]$

Then, we have:

$P = \frac{RT}{V_{m} } [\frac{1}{1-\frac{b}{V_{m} } } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Therefore,

$PV_{m} = RT[(1-\frac{b}{V_{m} }) ^{-1} - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Using the expansion:

$(1-x)^{-1} = 1 + x + x^{2} + ....$

Therefore,

$PV_{m} = RT[1+\frac{b}{V_{m} }+\frac{b^{2} }{V_{m} ^{2} } + ... -\frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Thus:

$PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]$ equation (1)

Using the virial equation of state:

$P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m} }+ \frac{B}{V_{m} ^{2}}+\frac{C}{V_{m} ^{3} }+ ...]$

Thus:

$PV_{m} = RT[1+ \frac{B}{V_{m} }+ \frac{C}{V_{m} ^{2} } + ...]$ equation (2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2), we have:

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

Using the measurements on argon gave B = −21.7 cm3 mol−1 and C = 1200 cm6 mol−2 for the virial coefficients at 273 K.

$b = \sqrt{C} = \sqrt{1200} = 34.64[tex]cm^{3}/mol$ [/tex] = 0.03464 L/mol

a = (b-B)*RT = (34.64+21.7)*(1L/1000cm^3)*(0.0821)*(273) = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

In the presence of an emulsifying agent, a mixture of oil and water becomes a _____.

Paladinen [302]

In the presence of an emulsifying agent, a mixture of oil and water becomes a colloidal dispersion.
Colloidal dispersion otherwise colloid is a system, in which discrete particles, droplets or bubbles of a dispersed phase (in this case oil), whose size at least in one dimension is in the range from 1 to 1000 nm are distributed in the other, usually continuous phase - dispersion medium (in this case water) differing from the dispersed phase in composition or state of aggregation.

The reactivity of metals on the periodic table

kari74 [83]

Explanation:

The most reactive metals are found on the left of the periodic table, in the blue column, known as the alkali metals. Their reactivity increases as we go down column (group) one. Reactive metals, when attached to less reactive metals, have the ability to prevent the less reactive metal from rusting.

Putting rock salt on the roads during a snowstorm is an example of: A. Boiling point elevation B. Vapor pressure raising C. Vapo

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct answer is - D. Freezing point depression.

Explanation:

When rock salt is spread over snow-covered icy roads, it generates a liquid layer over it by melting from the surface thereby lowering or depression in the freezing point below the ice.

Therefore, due to this liquid layer comes into the contact with the ice present on the road and causes other ice to melts. This keeps on decreasing the volume of the ice on the road therefore, rock salts spread on the roads during a snowstorm.
