Kaasunhöyryn

Kaasunhöyryn, sometimes referred to as gas vapor or simply vapor, is a term used to describe the gaseous state of a substance that is normally a liquid or solid at room temperature and pressure. This transformation occurs when the substance absorbs enough energy, typically in the form of heat, to overcome the intermolecular forces holding its particles together in a more condensed phase. The process of converting a liquid to a gas is called vaporization, which can happen through evaporation (occurring at the surface of a liquid) or boiling (occurring throughout the liquid at a specific temperature).

The properties of kaasunhöyryn differ significantly from its liquid or solid form. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will expand to fill any container they occupy. Their particles are in constant, random motion and are widely separated. The pressure exerted by a kaasunhöyryn is a result of these particles colliding with the walls of the container. Understanding the behavior of kaasunhöyryn is crucial in many scientific and industrial applications, including meteorology, chemical engineering, and thermodynamics. The specific temperature and pressure at which a substance transitions between phases are known as its phase transition points.
