What is Saturation Vapor Pressure? - when the rate of water molecules entering the liquid is equal to the rate of water molecules leaving the liquid How does saturation vapor pressure vary with temperature? - As temperature increases, water molecules escape more frequently causing the equilibrium water vapor pressure to rise Latent heat - the heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or vapor, or a liquid into a vapor, without change of temperature. Heat Capacity - The amount of heat ...
