Does absolute humidity increase if the amount of water vapor in the air remains unchanged?
No, absolute humidity is the exact amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. So, if the water vapor in the air remains unchanged, so does the absolute humidity.
What happens to the mass when a gas or liquid is heated?
The amount of mass does not change. The energy contained by the fixed mass increases.
What is the affect of cooling on humidity ratio?
Cooler air cannot hold as much water vapor as the same volume of warmer air, so as the air temperature drops, the relative humidity increases, even when the amount of water vapor in a certain volume of air, or absolute humidity, remains unchanged. If the relative humidity reaches 100%, the air has all the water vapor that it is able to hold. If the temperature continues to drop beyond that point, the excess moisture in the air condenses as dew or frost.
What happens to the total amount of energy when a can of soup falls off a shelf?
The total amoun of enery remains unchanged. However some of it is converted into different forms.
What is the amount of water vapour per unit volume of air called?
The amount of water per unit air is called, I believe the Absolute Humidity, and this is closely related to dew point. If the amount of water in a parcel of air remains constant, the temperature and relative humidity can vary all over the place, but the absolute humidity is constant and so, I believe, is the dew point.
What term is defined as the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water that the air can hold?
This is the measure of relative humidity. At 50 percent relative humidity, the air is holding half of what it could. It is relative humidity because it is related to the temperature and pressure of the air.
Which is the comparison of the amount of moisture in the air to the amount of moisture it can hold?
relative humidity
How can relative humidity and dew point be used to predict the weather?
Relative humidity expresses a percentage of humidity in the air to the maximum amount of humidity that could be in the air. For example: when the temperature rises the air will be able to hold much more humidity so the relative humidity will drop.
Is humidity the amount of dust in the air?
no. humidity is the amount of water in the air.
Amount of moisture in air compared to amount needed in saturation?
Relative humidity.
How can relative humidity increase diffusion rate?
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.
What is the differences between relative humidity and humidity?
Humidity is the amount of water vapor present in the air. The relative humidity is the measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the amount needed for saturation.
