That's an interesting question, because there are other factors that people forget to mention.

  1. Cold air tends to weigh more and therefore have higher pressure. That means that the cold air around your and your house is more dense.
  2. This means that the pressure of the air in your house is actually more dense because of the air around your house. So, although you've warmed the air in your house, it isn't enough to lower the pressure because you're sitting under the weight of miles of cold air piled on you and your house.
  3. This means that when you put water vapor into the air in your house, you're actually putting vapor into compressed air. This compressed air, tends to hold more warm moisture, because it has more molecules per square inch.

Can hot air hold more or less water than cold air?

Hot air can hold more water vapor than cold air. This is because warmer air molecules are further apart, allowing more space for water vapor molecules to exist in the air. Conversely, cold air molecules are closer together, limiting the amount of water vapor that can be held.


Air has more capacity to hold water at what?

Air has more capacity to hold water when the air is warmer. The colder the air is, the less water it can hold.


Does warm air or cold air contain more water vapor?

Quite the opposite. This is why irrigation is recommended overnight instead of during the day. (note: "morning dew") - less water is evaporated during cooler temperatures.


Does warm air hold more water vapor than cold air?

A oft-repeated water vapor myth is that warm air can "hold" more water vapor than cool airbecause as the air warms its molecules move farther apart, making room for more molecules. This leads to the idea that as air cools its molecules move closer together, "squeezing" out water vapor.


Why does warmer air hold more moisture in the air?

It's not really accurate to say that warm air can hold more moisture. It would be better to say that warm air provides a more conducive environment for gaseous water to be in than does cold air. The reason that water is found in a vaporous form is that the water molecules have enough energy to be in that form. If the molecules are colder (have less energy) they will be solids and liquids. Warm air transfers its energy to the solid and liquid water molecules, helping them achieve a gaseous state. Warm air -> more energy -> more energy for water molecules -> more gaseous water.

Does cold water or hot water hold more oxygen?

Cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen than hot water. This is because the solubility of oxygen in water decreases as the temperature increases. Therefore, cold water has the ability to hold more oxygen than hot water.


Can cold or hot water hold more oxygen?

Cold water can hold more oxygen than hot water. This is because gases are more soluble in colder temperatures than in warmer temperatures. As the temperature of water increases, its ability to hold dissolved gases, including oxygen, decreases.


Can warm air hold less water vapor than cold air?

no, warm air holds more water vapour than cold air


Can hot or cold water hold more salt?

Hot water can hold more salt than cold water because the heat causes the water molecules to move farther apart, allowing more salt molecules to dissolve. Conversely, cold water has a higher density, so it can dissolve less salt.


Does hot air hold more water vapor than cold air?

Yes.


Does cold air hold more than warm air?

No. Warm air is capable of holding much more water vapour than cold air.


Which type of air can hold more water vapor-and-why?

Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air because warm air molecules have more energy and are more widely spaced, allowing them to accommodate more water vapor molecules. Cold air is denser and has less energy, limiting its capacity to hold water vapor.


Can hot air hold more or less water than cold air?

Hot air can hold more water vapor than cold air. This is because warmer air molecules are further apart, allowing more space for water vapor molecules to exist in the air. Conversely, cold air molecules are closer together, limiting the amount of water vapor that can be held.


Is helium more soluble in hot water or cold water?

cold water


Why hot air contain more water than cold?

Hot air can hold more water vapor than cold air because the higher temperature increases the kinetic energy of water molecules, allowing them to escape into the air more easily. As air cools, it loses its capacity to hold water vapor, leading to condensation and potentially precipitation.


How much air is in hot water Is there more air in cold water under the same pressure of course?

Colder water can hold more oxygen than warmer water.


Which has more dissolved gases in it-hot water or cold water?

Cold water generally has more dissolved gases than hot water. This is because gases are more soluble in colder temperatures compared to warmer temperatures. When water is heated, its capacity to hold dissolved gases decreases.
