[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 131490, member: 24"] Re: Help me understand the concept of speaker “throw” please. Water is not more dense in the gas phase. You are not dealing with the relative densities of the pure substances but with the density of the mixture. At the same temperature, the molecules have the same average kinetic energies. This average kinetic energy is a distribution of the kinetic energies of the individual molecules. Within that distribution the lower molecular mass molecules have a higher root mean square velocity to have that same average kinetic energy. Since a gas can expand to fill the space available at a particular pressure/temperature, the number of molecules in equal volumes at the same temperature/pressure is the same(Avogadro's principle), the density of the gas is determined by the molecular weight of the particles. The more water in the gas, the lower the density. This is a basic driving principle behind meteorology/ climatology. It was also clearly misunderstood by most of the people commenting on the climate change thread rendering those comments meaningless in my mind. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD [/QUOTE]
