He explained that when two elastic fluids, A and B, are mixed together, there is no mutual repulsion between their particles; that is, A particles do not repel B particles, but a B particle will repel another B. Consequently, the pressure or whole weight of the gas arises solely from its particles. One of his experiments involved the addition of water vapor to dry air. The increase in pressure was the same as the pressure of the added water. He also established a relationship between vapor pressure and temperature. |
THX Lpork! :)
Going to take some reading! "...THINK ENERGY..." "...ON A WARM DAY MORE WATER CAN EVAPORATE BECAUSE THERE IS MORE THERMAL ENERGY AVAILABLE TO DO THE WORK OF EVAPORATION..." ******************************* So... my thinking that "the hotter air was the more vapour it could hold" while wrong, gives the correct.... You know what I mean. Am still reading though. THX again. :) |
