low relative humidity. The reason being that most organic organisms have semi permeable membranes allowing water to pass from an area of high water concentration (the organism) to an area of low water concentration (low humidity surroundings) through a process known as osmosis. This is why you parch in the desert faster than you would in the rain forest.

Relationship between evaporation and relative humidity?

Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas, while relative humidity is the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a specific temperature. A higher relative humidity means the air is already holding a lot of water vapor and so evaporation will be slower, while a lower relative humidity allows for faster evaporation as the air has more capacity to hold additional water vapor.


Relationship between temperature and relative humidity?

If the absolute humidity remains constant while the temperature rises, the relative humidity will decrease (and vice versa). This is because the air's capacity to hold water increases as the temperature increases so the constant amount of water represents a smaller and smaller percentage of the maximum amount the air can hold. A: As air temperature goes up, the maximum amount of water vapor that it can hold goes up. Thus if the water content stays constant, the the humidity goes down. If the humidity stays constant, then the water vapor content goes up.


Viruses multiply the same way as other organisms?

I don't know about the same as other organisms,but definitely faster!MUCH faster!


How would a lower temperature affect the rate of evaporation?

Temperature only plays a small part in the evaporation process the major variable is Relative Humidity for if the surrounding environment has the ability to take on more water which is measurable as relative humidity atmospheric pressure also plays a part. the greater the temp, the faster it evaporates


Does bread mold faster outside or inside?

wherever has more humidity for example in the summer in many places its very humid and hot, it will mold faster than inside when the air conditioner is drying and cooling the atmosphere when in winter bread will mold faster inside because inside is warm and humid while outside is cold and dry

Can water evaporate faster if there is more water?

Yes if more water means a bigger surface area, and the surrounding atmosphere is not saturated with water vapor (relative humidity < 100%).

What is the controlled factors in salt water evaporating faster?

Examples: temperature, humidity of the atmosphere, water area exposes to atmosphere, etc.


Do water puddles evaporate faster on days when the humidity is high or low?

Low, this is because the relative humidity is also lower. The relative humidity is how much water vapor is in the aircompared to how much it can hold, if it is lower, it can hols more so wet things dry faster.


How can relative humidity increase diffusion rate?

Relative humidity increases when the amount of moisture air can hold increases. The increase can be caused by the introduction of more moist air, OR a temperature drop of the air/moisture mixture without a loss of moisture. Colder air will hold less moisture than warm air; as the temperature goes down the amount of moisture relative to what the air can hold increases.


Under what condition of humidity does water evaporate faster?

Low humidity.

How does temperature affect humidity?

Temperature does have a direct effect on relative humidity. ( just to make the water vapor move faster when war and slower when cool). As temperature goes up, the ability of the air to hold more gas goes up, so relative humidity goes down (unless more water vapor is being added). very good answer if you don't trust it. i got an A on a take home test with this answer Temperature affects humidity when they take place in the Dew point when water vapour changes to liquid. At this temperature humidity is high. The higher the temp, the more water vapor can be carried in air. Thus if you heat air (as is done in the winter) the relative humidity drops ... the air seems dryer even though the total amount of water vapor is unchanged.


Why do clothes do not dry faster in rainy season?

Clothes do not dry faster in the rainy season because the increased humidity in the air slows down the evaporation process. The moisture in the atmosphere makes it harder for clothes to release their own moisture, prolonging the drying time. Additionally, rain can further dampen the clothes, making it more challenging for them to dry out.


Why do clothes dry faster in summer?

Clothes dry faster in summer because dry air in summer and no humidity.


Does water evaporate faster in moist refrigerator air or room temperature dry air?

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%.
