Evaporation is absolutely better facilitated by warmer, drier air. There's a limit to how much water air can hold, and warm air can hold much more than cold air. That's why water condenses out of the air when chilled, like when it comes in contact with an ice cold beverage. That's also why the relative humidity is highest during the coldest part of the day and lowest during the warmest part of the day. Relative humidity and dew point are measures of air's moisture content. Relative humidity is the ratio, given as a percentage, of the air's moisture content compared to what it's capable of holding. It's directly related to the dew point, which is the temperature to which you would need to chill the air in order to drive its relative humidity to 100%.

Does dry air heat up faster?

Yes, dry air heats up faster than moist air because water vapor in moist air requires energy to evaporate before the temperature of the air itself can rise. Dry air does not have this additional step, enabling it to heat up more quickly.


Which grows mold faster dry bread or moist bread?

As moist air rises its temperature will what?

The air temperature rises when particles in the air begin to move faster. The energy of the motion of particles is called thermal energy.


How should I store pound cake to keep it fresh and moist?

To keep pound cake fresh and moist, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap the cake in plastic wrap and then foil, and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.


What causes the water to evaporate?

What causes the water to evaporate? For me, heat causes the water to evaporate, like the boiling water in the kettle. When it boils you can see moist on the top of the kettle. So the heat causes the water to evaporate. =D


When moist air is heated in a air tight vessel what happens?

When moist air is heated in an airtight vessel, the temperature of the air increases, causing the water vapor to evaporate more readily, which can lead to an increase in humidity. If there is no way for the water vapor to escape the vessel, it will remain inside as part of the air mixture.


What kind of weather conditions will cause the most water to evaporate from the sea?

Hot and windy conditions typically cause the most water to evaporate from the sea. The combination of heat increasing the water temperature and wind removing the moist air above the water's surface accelerates the evaporation process.


Why does bread grow mold at room temp than in refrigerator?

The reason that bread kept at room temperature molds faster then bread kept in the fridge is due to the fact that warmer temperatures promote mold to grow. Mold flourishes in room temperature and has a harder time in colder climates.Yes, it would be much slower to mold kept refrigerated, but it will also dry the bread out more quickly.
