The following table provides the temperature dependence of the saturated vapor pressure and vapor density of water. This information is useful in gas chromatographic headspace analysis and for SPME sampling.12... 

Relative Humidity (rh). Relative humidity is the ratio of the mole fraction of water vapor present in the air to the mole fraction of water vapor present in saturated air at the same temperature and barometric pressure it approximately equals the ratio of the partial pressure (or density) of the water vapor in the air to the saturation pressure (or density) of water vapor at the same temperature. 

Density is defined as the mass of a substance contained in a unit volume. In the SI system of units, the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water at I5°C is known as its relative density, while the older term specific gravity is the ratio relative to water at 60°F. Various units of density, such as kg/m, Ib-mass/fF, and g/cm, are commonly used. In addition, molar densities, or the density divided by the molecular weight, is often specified. This section briefly discusses methods of correlation of density as a function of temperature and presents the most common accurate methods for prediction of vapor, liquid, and solid density. 

Vapor pressure, like density and solubility, is an intensive physical property that is characteristic of a particular substance. The vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 23.76 mm Hg, independent of volume or the presence of another gas. Like density and solubility, vapor pressure varies with temperature for water it is 55.3 mm Hg at 40°C, 233.7 mm Hg at 70°C, and 760.0 mm Hg at 100°C. We will have more to say in Chapter 9 about the temperature dependence of vapor pressure. 

C12-0063. Urea, a fertilizer, has the chemical formula (NH2)2 CO. Calculate the vapor pressure of water above a fertilizer solution containing 7.50 g of urea in 15.0 mL of water (density = l.OOg/mL), at a temperature for which the vapor pressure of pure water is 33.00 torr. 

C12-0064. Ethylene glycol, an automobile coolant, has the chemical formula HOCH2 CH2 OH. Calculate the vapor pressure of water above a coolant solution containing 65.0 g of ethylene glycol dissolved in 0.500 L of water (density = 1.00 g/mL), at 100 °C, the boiling point of pure water. 

Thermal expansion causes liquid water to become less dense as the temperature increases. At the same time, the liquid vapor becomes more dense as the pressure rises. For example, the density of water varies from 1.0 g/cm3 at room temperature to 0.7 g/cm3 at 306°C. At the critical point, the densities of the two phases become identical and they become a single fluid called supercritical fluid. Its density at this point is only about 0.3 g/cm3 (Figures 1.4 and 1.5). 

Where Cv -cavitation number P2-downstream pressure Pv- vapor pressure of water p- density of water at 25°C, V0-average velocity near orifice. The diameter of the orifice was calculated using Cv values which was calculated from P2 (downstream pressure), p (density of water), V0 (average velocity near orifice) and Pv (vapor pressure of water) [48]. C02 gas was passed near to Lc zone as shown in Fig. 7.9, where cavities collapse in the cavitation zone.

Bromine is a thick, dark-red hquid with a high density. It is the only nonmetaUic element that is a hquid at normal room temperatures. (The other element that is hquid at room temperatures is the metal mercury.) Bromines density is 3.12g/cm, which is three times the density of water. Its vapor is much denser than air, and when it is poured into a beaker, the fumes hug the bottom of the container. Bromines melting point is —72°C, and its boding point is 58.8°C.

White crystal, powder or flake highly hygroscopic the compound and its solutions absorb moisture from the air at various rates depending on calcium chloride concentrations, relative humidity and vapor pressure of water in the air, temperature, surface area of exposed material, and the rate of air circulation at 40% and 95% relative humidity and 25°C, one gram anhydrous calcium chloride may absorb about 1.4 g and 17 g water, respectively. (Shearer, W. L. 1978. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd ed., vol. 4, pp. 432-6. New York Wiley Interscience) density 2.15, 2.24, 1.85, 1.83 and 1.71 g/cm for the anhydrous salt and its mono-, di-, tetra- and hexahy-drates, respectively anhydrous salts melts at 772°C, while the mono-, di-, tetra- and hexahydrates decompose at 260°, 175°, 45.5° and 30°C, respectively the anhydrous salt vaporizes at 1,935°C highly soluble in water, moderate to high solubility in alcohol. 

Foster Wheeler Development Corporation (FWDC) has designed a transportable transpiring wall supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) reactor to treat hazardous wastes. As water is subjected to temperatures and pressures above its critical point (374.2°C, 22.1 MPa), it exhibits properties that differ from both liquid water and steam. At the critical point, the liquid and vapor phases of water have the same density. When the critical point is exceeded, hydrogen bonding between water molecules is essentially stopped. Some organic compounds that are normally insoluble in liquid water become completely soluble (miscible in all proportions) in supercritical water. Some water-soluble inorganic compounds, such as salts, become insoluble in supercritical water. 

Example 9.3. Plot the estimated adsorption isotherm for water vapor on silicon oxide at 20°C. First we need to estimate the constant C. From Chapter 6 we know that it is related to the Hamaker constant AH (Eq. 6.16) C = TtpBCABl = Ah/3ttpa. Here, pA and pB are the number densities of molecules in liquid water and silicon oxide, respectively. The Hamaker constant for water interacting with silicon oxide across air is Ah = 10-20 J (Table 6.3). With a density of water of 1000 kg/m3, a molecular weight of 18 g/mol, and a molecular radius of Do 1 A we get Vr% = 0.018 kgmoU1 /(1000 kgm-3) = 18 x 10 6m3moU1 and...

Spencer et al. (14) reported that the degree of reduction in vapor pressure in soil due to adsorption is dependent mainly upon soil water content, the nature of the pesticide, its concentration and soil properties, particularly soil organic matter content. The concentration of the desorbed pesticide in the soil water dictates the vapor density of the pesticide in the soil air in accordance with Henry s law. Hence, soil water adsorption coefficients can be used to calculate relative vapor densities in the soil atmosphere.
