Why does water vapor concentration change more dramatically than any other gas?

The air receives water wapor by evaporation, and by circulation, and loses it to condensation and precipitation. The actual amount that the air can hold is determined by the temperature and pressure. The warmer the air, the more water vapor it can hold. (Conversely, the denser the air, the more water vapor it can hold, but denser air is usually also cooler air.)

What is the change a vapor to a liquid?
the change of a liquid ie, water to vapor is evaporation.
Where does water vapor change from water vapor to liquid water?
When the water gets supper hot it can change to water vapor.
Can heating water to change it to water vapor be a chemical change?
No, this is definitely a physical change, absolutely not a chemical.
What is it when water changes to water vapor?
When water changes to water vapor, it has changed its state from liquid to vapor and no chemical change has taken place. It's only a physical change.
Water is change into a gas by?
Water Vapor
When is water in equilibrium with water vapor?
When the concentration of the liquid (water) and gas (vapor) phases do not change.
What is the water vapor concentration at the earth's surface?
The water vapor concentration constantly fluctuates.
What is the water at the Earth's surface?
The water vapor concentration constantly fluctuates.
What is the change a vapor to a liquid?
the change of a liquid ie, water to vapor is evaporation.
When alchohol and mercury boil they both change from a liquid to what?
They change from a liquid to a vapor (gas).
Where does water vapor change from water vapor to liquid water?
When the water gets supper hot it can change to water vapor.
What gas is the most important?
This depends on what you mean by important. For instance chlorinated fluorocarbons at a given concentration have an effect thousands of times that of the same concentration of Carbon dioxide. Fortunately their concentration is very low. On the other hand water vapor has a lower effect than an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide but its concentration is very high (not surprising since two thirds of the earth's surface is water) so with the current composition of the earth's atmosphere water vaporhas the greatest effect. However the concentration of water vapor varies with the temperature and is not directly affected by human activities. If we were to increase the level of water vapor in the atmosphere and leave everything else unchanged, the water vapor would fairly quickly condense out as rain, snow, frost or dew and there would be no lasting effect on global temperaturesCarbon dioxide comes second after water vapor and its concentration in the atmosphere is heavily affected by burning of fossil fuels. As the CO2 concentration increases, the temperature of the atmosphere increases, as does its ability to hold water vapor. So an increase in CO2 results in an increase in water vapor and a further increase in temperature. Because CO2 does not condense out it has a lasting effect which is amplified by the ensuing increase in water vapor.
How do you spell humitiy?
The likely word is humidity (concentration of water vapor in the air).
Can heating water to change it to water vapor be a chemical change?
No, this is definitely a physical change, absolutely not a chemical.
Does water vapor vary significantly in concentration from place to place and from day to day?
Yes.
What states that the magnitude of vapor pressure reduction is proportional to the solution's concentration?
Raoult's Law
Raoult's Law states that the magnitude of vapor pressure reduction is proportional to?
the solutions's concentration
