This page provides supplementary data to the article properties of water. Further comprehensive authoritative data can be found at thNIST Webbookpage on thermophysical properties of fluids. Structure and properties Thermodynamic properties Liquid physical properties Water/steam equilibrium properties Vapor pressure formula for steam in equilibrium with liquid water: : \log_ P = A - \frac, where ''P'' is equilibrium vapor pressure in kPascal (unit), Pa, and ''T'' is temperature in kelvins. For ''T'' = 273 K to 333 K: ''A'' = 7.2326; ''B'' = 1750.286; ''C'' = 38.1. For ''T'' = 333 K to 423 K: ''A'' = 7.0917; ''B'' = 1668.21; ''C'' = 45.1. Data in the table above is given for water–steam equilibria at various temperatures over the entire temperature range at which liquid water can exist. Pressure of the equilibrium is given in the second column in kPascal (unit), Pa. The third column is the heat content of each gram of the liquid phase relative to water at 0 ...

Properties Of Water
Water () is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound and is described as the "universal solvent" and the "solvent of life". It is the most abundant substance on the surface of Earth and the only common substance to exist as a solid, liquid, and gas on Earth's surface. It is also the third most abundant molecule in the universe (behind molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide). Water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other and are strongly polar. This polarity allows it to dissociate ions in salts and bond to other polar substances such as alcohols and acids, thus dissolving them. Its hydrogen bonding causes its many unique properties, such as having a solid form less dense than its liquid form, a relatively high boiling point of 100 °C for its molar mass, and a high heat capacity. Water is amphoteric, meani ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
