Homework Statement
how do i determine whether water is at liquid, superheated vapour r a mixture state??
Liquid is a state of matter in which the substance has a fixed volume and takes the shape of its container. Superheated vapour is a state of matter in which the substance is heated above its boiling point without changing into a gas. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are physically combined and can be separated by physical means.
The temperature and pressure of a substance are directly related to its state of matter. As temperature increases, a substance can change from a solid to a liquid to a gas. As pressure increases, a substance can change from a gas to a liquid to a solid.
No, a substance can only exist in one state of matter at a time. However, a substance can transition between states of matter through changes in temperature and pressure.
Superheated vapour is a state of matter in which a substance is heated above its boiling point without changing into a gas. Steam, on the other hand, is a gas that is formed when water boils at its boiling point.
Superheated vapour has many practical applications, such as in power plants where it is used to generate electricity. It is also used in industrial processes, such as drying and sterilization, as well as in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Additionally, superheated vapour is used in cooking, such as in steam ovens and pressure cookers.
