Relative humidity increases when the amount of moisture air can hold increases. The increase can be caused by the introduction of more moist air, OR a temperature drop of the air/moisture mixture without a loss of moisture. Colder air will hold less moisture than warm air; as the temperature goes down the amount of moisture relative to what the air can hold increases.

∙ 9y agoThe relative humidity can increase it by letting more water into the air. The relative humidity can hold more than regular humidity.

As partial pressure increases what happens to the rate of diffusion?
Rate of diffusion will increase.
What are two ways to increase the rate of diffusion?
Agitation and heat.
How does temperature affect rate of diffusion?
Faster diffusion will take place if the surroundings are warmer. Increase in temperature means an increase in molecules' speed (kinetic energy). So the molecules move faster and there will be more spontaneous spreading of the material which means that diffusion occurs more quickly.
How does increased temperature affect rate of diffusion?
Temperature (heat) is the kinetic energy of the atoms/molecules that make up something. The more kinetic energy they have, the more they move around. As they move around they are "diffusing" in that they may end up in a different place to their start point. So increased temperature increases the rate of diffusion.
What happens to rate of diffusion on heating?
On heating the rate of Diffusion increases..
Does a temperature increase increase the rate of diffusion?
yes the higher the temprature the quicker the rate of diffusion
As partial pressure increases what happens to the rate of diffusion?
Rate of diffusion will increase.
What is the effect of the density of liquid on the rate of diffusion?
The increase in density will decrease the rate of diffusion. There is an inverse relation between density and rate of diffusion.
Relationship between evaporation and relative humidity?
The higher the relative humidity is the lower rate of evaporation.
Does stirring increase the rate of diffusion?
It decreases it.
Does the rate of facilitated diffusion increase or decrease as the number of carrier proteins increase?
The rate of diffusion should also increase due to the increased likelihood of substrate-carrier complex formation. The rate will increase proportionally with the increase in carriers until a threshold is reached and a plateau in rate will occur. This is designated as Vmax
What are two ways to increase the rate of diffusion?
Agitation and heat.
Why does oxygen diffusion rate increase?
Oxygen diffusion increases as the need increases. It is a matter of supply and demand.
How does humidity affect the water potential?
As you decrease humidity, I believe the water potential of the environment also decreases. Conversely, if you increase the humidity, the water potential increases. An example can be found in water movement of leaves. As the humidity increases, the rate of diffusion goes down because water moves from areas of high water potential to low water potential. Thus, as the humidity goes down, the rate of diffusion of water from leaves to the environment increases because water potential of the environment is lower (more negative) than the leaf's, so water flows out of the leaf.
When is your highest relative humidity?
AnswerIt's 78C of heat index recorded at Dharhan Saudi Arabia in 2000 with a 41C and over 70% humidity rate.
What would heating do to the rate of diffusion of a salt crystal?
the rate of diffusion increases. the increase in the temperature makes the molucules move faster giving space for diffusion to occur and the amount and the time increases.
What is Effect of relative humidity on water evaporation?
humidity effects the evaporation in the following ways: 1. In a closed container rate of evaporation will have a lesser value than usual.but there will be no decrease in the rate.
