[Chemistry] Can water vapor (or other gases) carry dirt? |

I think that considering your first reasoning, you must realise that those very strong polar bonds you're counting on, have already been "broken by the heat". |

Note: I said the 2nd substance is what is going the carrying. there is a diffrence water dose not carry but it dose gett carryed wow |

If other atoms are bound to the H2O then it's no longer technically water. I never took chemistry beyond grade 11 or so[1], but IIRC most things that are mixed with water don't bond to the water. When the water evaporates, there is no chemical bond between the water and whatever alien substance it's mixed with. So I guess either: the alien substance bonds to the water molecules, forming a new molecule that isn't technically water, or it doesn't and isn't carried by the water. The answer seems to be no. I would not risk money on my understanding of chemistry, however. References

When you get out of the shower, do you have to dry off the water that is not water? It's "bound" to you, right? They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Like I said, I would not risk money on my understanding of chemistry. She was in my grade 11 chemistry class so I payed most of my attention to the other side of the room[1]. References

Came to think of it. Salt sucks humidity into it. Or how do you phrase it? The thing with sea water spraying from braking waves. If the water is very salty, like sea water is, the salt might prevent the water from vaporizing, so I guess the water vapor kind of carries the salt (dirt) by not vaporizing completely due to the lose bound between salt ions and liquid water molecules. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

I'd think the salt would slow evaporation by reducing the number of water molecules at the surface. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Well, the salt and the water stick together. That's what osmosis is about. And in Finland we put salt on dirt roads at summer time. The salt sucks water from the air and keeps the dirtt wet, preventing it from dusting. That's CaCl, not NaCl. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Just plain water has quite an attraction for itself if bugs can walk around on the surface tension. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |
