Why is there a limit to the amount of water vapor in the air even though the atmosphere is s...

[OP] I have read that temperature and pressure dictate how much water vapor can exist in the air. … [OP] Air is a mixture, so shouldn’t the addition of water vapor just add to the mixture regardless the temperature and pressure? …

What happens to pressure when a liquid goes supercritical?

Typically, isochores in a $p-T$ diagram are straight lines. This is evident in the ideal gas law, but also a prediction from the simple van der Waals' equation of state. We put this to test using a mo …

Heat capacity of (ideal) gases at constant pressure

Classical Thermodynamics [OP] I've come across this article which says that the constant pressure heat capacity is independent of pressure. … The residual heat capacity at constant pressure is a linear function of the pressure. Higher the pressure, higher the deviations from the ideal gas heat capacity. …

Use the first law of thermodynamics to derive the pressure as a function of T, U, V and N

It seems that the entropy function is for a thermodynamic system of a pure fluid. So let me: Define $ s \triangleq S/N $ to have the entropy per molecule. Multiply both sides for Avogadro's number $N …
