Steam Water vapor

The latent heat of vaporization in Figure 28 is expressed in units of Btu per pound of water evaporated. The value is taken from the steam water vapor at various temperatures (i.e., from the steam tables). 

Some water vapor is also present in air and may be considered to be low-pressure, low-temperature steam. Water vapor is assumed to act... 

Ammonium nitrate, a colorless Ionic solid used as a fertilizer, explodes when it is heated above 300 °C. The products are three gases molecular nitrogen, molecular oxygen, and steam (water vapor). Write a balanced equation for the explosion of ammonium nitrate. 

Snuffing Steam - Pressurized steam (water vapor) used to smother and inhibit fire conditions. 

The steam tables (Tables B.5, B.6, and B.7) can be used to estimate 0 and H for liquid water and steam (water vapor) at any specified temperature and pressure. The reference state for the tabulated internal energies and enthalpies in the steam tables is liquid water at the triple point—O.OUC and 0.00611 bar. 

Condensed phases also arise when the temperature of a gas is reduced at constant pressure. If steam (water vapor) is cooled at 1 atm pressure, it condenses to liquid water at 100°C and freezes to solid ice at 0°C. Liquids and solids form at low temperatures once the attractive forces between molecules become strong enough to overcome the kinetic energy of random thermal motion. 

Thus, ice, liquid water, and steam (water vapor) all comprised the same particles, but there were different relationships between the particles. 

DICHLORODIMETHYLSILANE (75-78-5) Forms explosive gas mixture with air (flash point 15°F/—9°C). Contact with water, steam, water vapor, moist air causes decomposition with the formation of hydrogen chloride. Contact with anhydrous ammonia forms a pyrophoric compound. Incompatible with acetone, amines, anhydrous ammonia, alcohols, strong oxidizers, caustics. Flow or agitation of substance may generate electrostatic charges due to low conductivity. Attacks most metals.

Materials may exist as solids, liquids, or gases. A specimen of solid, such as a piece of ice, has a definite volume and also has rigidity. It retains its shape even when acted on by an outside force, provided that the force is not great enough to break the specimen. A liquid, such as a portion of water in a cup, has a definite volume, but adjusts its shape to the shape of the bottom part of its container. A gas, such as steam (water vapor) in the cylinder of a steam engine, has neither definite shape nor definite volume — it changes its shape and also its volume with change in the shape and volume of the container. 

Solid ammonium dichromate, I(NH4)2Cr207, orattge] decomposes when heated into chromiumlHI) oxide, (6x203, green), nitn en, and steam (water vapor). This reaction is sometimes demonstrated as the classroom volcano, hnt it must he done with extreme caution due to the carcint enic (cancer-causing) nature of (NH4)2Cr207. 

Mechanisms of reactions with molecular oxygen are well understood because they have received considerable research investment. There exist similarities of reactions with molecular oxygen and reactions with carbon dioxide and steam (water vapor). Initially, it is irrelevant to discuss in some detail the carbon-molecular oxygen reaction, but, as is clarified later, this discussion also provides meaningful clues as to how carbon atoms are extracted in a gasification process by carbon dioxide or steam.
