Vapor Pressure and Boiling Point
Description
Vapor pressure and boiling point describe how a liquid behaves in a closed container and when it starts to boil. As a liquid vaporizes, some gas molecules stay above the liquid and can collide with the surface again. When those collisions turn gas back into liquid, the process is called condensation.

Transcript
In a closed system, at vapor–liquid equilibrium, condensation and vaporization occur at the same rate, with no net change in the masses of the two phases.
The partial pressure exerted by the gas phase in dynamic equilibrium with its liquid is called its vapor pressure. The more molecules there are in the vapor phase, the higher the vapor ...
