Okay
??
I have been doing heat and such with my physics students.
Everytime I say gas, they bring up vapor.
I don't know where it comes from and I keep trying to get them to stop using vapor
Why?
but it seems stuck in their minds..
Esp. that gas and vapor are the same.
Is this a problem?
There is no physical or chemical difference between a vapor
and a gas. The difference in connotation is subtle and not
very important.
