This lecture covers: Stratification in gas and liquid mixtures in gravitational, centrifugal, and electrostatic fields. Oxygen and CO2 concentration with elevation in the atmosphere. Liquid-vapor equilibria in pure substances. Metastable states and spinodal decomposition.
Instructor suggests to set viewing speed at 1.5 for faster learning.
