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.

Relationship between evaporation and relative humidity?

The higher the relative humidity is the lower rate of evaporation.


Why the rate of evaporation of an aqueous solution decrease with increase in humidty?

At limes of low humidity fluids evaporate more quickly because they can be easily taken up by the surrounding environment, at 100% humidity evaporation stops, evaporated water can be measured as relative humidity


How much water vapor is needed to saturate the air?

This is called the relative humidity. It changes due to evaporation and precipitation, and warm air can hold more water than cooler air.


How do you increase the relative humidity of an air mass?

Add water (vapor) ... evaporation. Lower the temperature of the air mass.


What is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount that could be in the air at that temperature?

relative humidity


How many time required of evaporation of 500ml water in sunlight?

Evaporation is really dependent on temperature, relative humidity and surface area not sunlight. Sunlight may increase evaporation by raising the temperature of the water through radiant heat.


What things have a effect on evaporation?

the things that have a affect on evaporation is water,temperature,relitive humidity and im only 10 years old and i answered this. LOL :)


What would be a brief project description for does the rate of evaporation of water depend upon the temperature?

The fact is this is not the variable you should be looking at rather the Relative humidity and the air pressure takes a part in it if you have a low RH you will get fast evaporation compared to high humidity where the water has no where to go.


Why doesn't cold water evaporation as fast as hot water does?

there is adifference because water turns into water vapour more easily when it is warm. However the rate of evaporation has more to do with relative humidity. For example if you were to hang out the wash during a heatwave in the oppressive humidity that you find in New Guinea it would take it ages to dry, However if you were to do the same in freezing temperatures and low relative humidity they would dry quickly.


What isThe opposite of evaporation?

Condensation is the opposite of evaporation this is known to happen at dew point when suspended water known as and measured as relative humidity drops out of suspension from the surrounding air and forms on cooler surfaces as water


How does humidity afect evaporation?

High humidity retards evaporation, and it may not occur at all if the air is at saturation, Low humidity accelerates it, and in extremely hot, and dry conditions water may vaporize quite readily, and rapidly. See psychrometrics, Relative Hummidity, Latent Heat, and sublimation.


Does the color of water affet how long it takes to evaporate?

only very slightly. the speed of evaporation is influenced by the relative humidity in the air that it is in contact with.
