Gaseous Water

 The gaseous phase of water is known as water vapor, water vapour, or aqueous vapor.
Within the hydrosphere, it is one type of water state. Water vapor can be created by the
boiling or evaporation of liquid water as well as by the sublimation of ice. Like the
majority of other atmospheric elements, water vapor is transparent.
 When we talk about the moisture content of the air, we really mean the amount of water
vapor. When the air is said to as "wet," it signifies there is a lot of water vapor or gaseous
water present.
 The boiling point of water (373 K) can make the molecules break out and allow itself to
be in a gaseous form or in easier words make water vapor.

How Gaseous Water is connected to IMF

Dipole-dipole also known as hydrogen bonds

 In the vapor or gaseous state, water molecules are largely independent of one another and
occur mostly as monomers signified as ¿ it is connected to hydrogen bonds as it contains
such molecules that is H 2 O .
Ps. Intermolecular attractions form, releasing energy as heat without causing any
chemical changes to the water molecules. An equilibrium vapor pressure is
reached in a closed system at a specific temperature. (H2O(gas) = H2O(liquid) +
HEAT)

 As water boils at 373 K, the increased heat causes the hydrogen bonds between the water
molecules to fully break, allowing gaseous water molecules to escape into the air making
steam or water vapor. (Evaporation technically)

Uses of Gaseous Waters

 Environment
o The most common greenhouse gas on Earth is water vapor. It is the cause of
nearly half of the greenhouse effect on Earth, which is the result of gases in the
atmosphere trapping solar heat. Our planet's habitability depends on greenhouse
gases.
o Lower atmospheric water vapor molecules absorb heat generated from the Earth's
surface. In turn, the water vapor molecules emit heat in all directions. The Earth's
surface receives some of the heat back. So, in addition to sunlight, water vapor
also contributes to warming of the Earth's surface.
o Water vapor is transformed into precipitation and snow, which act as a natural
supply of water for both plants and animals.
 o Too much water vapor in the air causes rain, fog, snow, and other weather
conditions. As a result, it establishes climatic conditions.
 Industrial(?)
o Water gas is used in combination with producer gas to generate fuel gas and in
the Fischer-tropsch process while producer gas is used in furnace and gas engines.
o Biological systems employ water evaporation, a fundamental force of nature, to
transform energy produced by water evaporation. Researchers have now
demonstrated how energy may be produced by using the evaporation from the
surface of nanostructured carbon materials.
