Thus vapors. Vapors, like gases, have a cerwhich they are inclosed. Vapors are a pressure on every part of any vessel in which they are inclosed. Vapors are formed instantly in a vacuum; in the atly. When not saturated they exactly rely. When not saturated they exactly rerated and in contact with the liquid by rated and in contact with the liquid by which they were generated, they can remain constant, both in their elastic force and in their density. Vapors of different composition vary in density. Thus if atmospheric air be taken as unity, the vapor of water=0.6235, that of alcohol 1.6138, that of sulphur 6.6542, and that of mercury 6.9760.
