Re: Vapor vs gas
Vapors tend to consist of a mixture of 2 or more different phases at room temperature (liquid and gas), and gases contain one thermodynamic state at room temperature. I would treat them as equivalent for this class though

Re: Vapor vs gas
Vapour is a mixture of two or more different phases at room temperature, these phases are liquid and gaseous phase. Gas usually contains a single thermodynamic state at room temperature. Vapour has a definite shape of the gaseous particles when observed under a microscope.

Re: Vapor vs gas
They are synonymous. Vapor usually implies that it used to be a liquid and now it turned into a gas via vaporization (:

Re: Vapor vs gas
They are basically the same thing but vapor is the chemical way of saying something is in gas phase

Re: Vapor vs gas
Vapour is a mixture of two or more different phases at room temperature, these phases are liquid and gaseous phase. Gas usually contains a single thermodynamic state at room temperature. Vapour has a collection of particles without any definite shape when observed under a microscope
However, for these problems it is safe to say they are the same thing.

Re: Vapor vs gas
I am sure that vapor and gas mean the same thing but is used in the class interchangeably.

Re: Vapor vs gas
They are the same thing! usually people will use vapor if referring to a solid that was just turned into a gas but there is really no difference

Re: Vapor vs gas
I'm pretty sure vapor and gas are the same! Like when something vaporizes, it just goes from the liquid to the gas phase.

Re: Vapor vs gas
This is just two ways of saying the same thing, as they are both in the gaseous phase!

Re: Vapor vs gas
Yes I believe vapor just means gas, they are interchangable. Vaporization means the change of liquid to gas so it is safe to assume vapor is gas.
