Which condition is the actual amount of water vapor in a mixture of air and water?
relative humidity
What do you call the comparison of the actual amount of water vapor in the air to the amount of water vapor in the air if it were saturated?
This is called the "relative humidity."
What is the difference between relative humidity and actual humidity?
Humidity is the amount of water vapor at any given time and relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the greatest amount it can hold at that air temperature.
Why relative humidity does not give an accurate indication of the actual amount of water vapor in the air?
Because it is relative to temperature!
Why does relative humidity not give an accurate indication of the actual amount of water vapor in the air?
Because it is relative to temperature!

relative humidity
What do you call the comparison of the actual amount of water vapor in the air to the amount of water vapor in the air if it were saturated?
This is called the "relative humidity."
What term is given to the amount of moisture in the air?
The amount of moister in the air is called the relative humidity. It is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in an air water mixture to the saturated vapor pressure of water.
Is water vapor a mixture or pure substance?
Water vapor is a gas, not a mixture. Water vapor is just the gas form of water, it is not a mixture.Water Vapor is a compound made by bonding Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What is relative humidity relative to?
The ratio of a partial pressure of water vapor in an air water mixture to the saturated vapor.
What is the difference between relative humidity and actual humidity?
Humidity is the amount of water vapor at any given time and relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the greatest amount it can hold at that air temperature.
What 2 things are being compared when finding the relative humidity of air?
The amount of actual water vapor in the air to how much saturated water vapor could be in the air.
What happens when air is humid?
Humidity (relative) is the amount of water vapor in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount that the air could hold at the given temperature; the ratio of the actual water vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure. So pretty much the air is moist and heavy.
Is water vapor pure substance or mixture?
Water vapor is a pure substance.
What is atmospheric humidity?
Atmospheric humidity is defined as the amount of pressure of water vapor in an air to water mixture. This will be influenced by the temperature at a given time.
Why relative humidity does not give an accurate indication of the actual amount of water vapor in the air?
Because it is relative to temperature!
What temperature does air become dry?
Air can be dry at any temperature. It all has to do with the actual amount of water vapor in the air.
