Question
Explain the term:
Vapour density
Advertisements
Solution
Vapour density is the density of a vapour in relation to that of hydrogen. It is the density of a gas, expressed as the mass of a given volume of the gas divided by the mass of an equal volume of a reference gas (such as hydrogen or air) at the same temperature and pressure.
