Explain dust particles are not present to begin condensation

Reference no: EM13297210

Supercooled (metastable) water vapor commonly occurs in the atmosphere if dust particles are not present to begin condensation of the liquid.Sometimes small particles,such as tiny crystals of silver iodide, are released from airplanes in an attempt to begin condensation. This process is called "cloud seeding". At a certain location, water vapor at 298K has a metastable partial pressure of 30.0torr. The equilibrium value at this temperature is 23.756 torr. Consider the air which is present to be the surroundings, and assume it to remain at equilibrium at 298 K. A tiny particle is added to begin condensation. Calculate ?S, ?H, and ?Surr per mole of water which condenses. State any assumptions.
