What do you call moisture in air?
humidity
What causes substances when heated to splatter?
When the substance is too hot it causes air bubbles or moisture pockets to burst and it splatters.
What happens to Calcium chloride in air?
When exposed to air, calcium chloride can absorb moisture and become hydrated, forming a white, powdery substance. It is hygroscopic, meaning it has a strong affinity for water molecules in the air. This property allows calcium chloride to be used as a desiccant to remove excess moisture from the air.
Which holds more moisture warmer air or colder air?
The air that holds the most moisture in their air hole is warmer.
What is sensible heat without moisture?
Sensible heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance. When determining the heat of a vapor, moisture must be considered as it removes heat from the vapor (in order to heat the moisture [water vapor] to the ambient temperature). Dry steam has no moisture. Dry air has no moisture (a physical improbability). Air normally has moisture determined as relative humidity. This humidity [water vapor] must be heated with the air. Then the moisture heat absorption must be subtracted from the whole to determine the heat absorption of the air without moisture, expressed as heat per unit per degree (often 0.24 btu per dry standard cubic foot per degree F for air). Any moisture in the air increases the heat necessary to raise the temperature by about 1 btu per pound of moisture per degree F. (0.004 btu per gram of moisture per degree F). This increased heat requirement becomes more evident as air is compressed, and the moisture is removed by condensation.
What do you call moisture in air?
humidity
How does glycerol function in skin care products?
Glycerol, also known as glycerin is a humectant that draws moisture from the air to the skin in humidity above 65%. Below that humidity, it draws moisture from the deeper layers of the skin to the surface, causing dehydration.
Which substance in the air is the solvent and which substances are the solutes?
Moisture in the air works as solvent and soluble substances present in the air are solutes.
What do you call the piece of hardware which draws cooling air past a CPU?
A fan.
What do you call the dirt haze that forms when air pollution combines with moisture in the air?
The answer is smog.
What do we call the dirty haze the forms when air pollution combines with moisture in the air?
Smog.
What do we call the dirty haze that forms when air pollution combines moisture in the air?
Smog.
What do we call the dirty haze that forms when air pollution combines the moisture in the air?
Smog.
What do we call the dirty haze that forms when air pollution combines with moisture air?
Smog.
What do we call the dirty haze forms when air pollution combines with moisture in the air?
Smog.
What substance takes up so much water from the air that it forms a liquid solution?
A substance that takes up so much water from the air that it forms a liquid solution is called a deliquescent. It is a substance that tends to absorb moisture from the air and dissolve in it.
What do we call the dirty haze that forms when air polution combines with moisture in the air?
Smog -- smoke and fog
