Vapour Density Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: Equilibrium Vapour Density is the density of a vapour substance during the stages of reaction at equilibrium.
Purpose: This calculator helps determine the vapour density when the molecular weight at equilibrium is known.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The abnormal molecular weight is divided by 2 to obtain the vapour density at equilibrium.
Details: Understanding vapour density at equilibrium is crucial for chemical reaction studies, especially in determining molecular weights and reaction progress.
Tips: Enter the abnormal molecular weight in kilograms. The value must be > 0.
Q1: What is abnormal molecular weight?
A: Abnormal molecular weight refers to the unusual mass of a substance during the equilibrium stage in a chemical reaction.
Q2: Why divide by 2 in the formula?
A: The division by 2 accounts for the relationship between vapour density and molecular weight in equilibrium conditions.
Q3: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses kilograms for both input and output, but any consistent mass unit can be used as long as you're consistent.
Q4: Can this be used for any substance?
A: This formula is specifically for substances where the vapour density is half the abnormal molecular weight at equilibrium.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but actual experimental values may vary slightly due to real-world conditions.
