When water vapor is added to the air the density of the air is?
When water vapor is added to the air, the density of the air decreases. This is because water vapor molecules are less dense than dry air molecules.
Why is there a limit on the amount of water vapor the air can hold?
It takes a lot of energy to turn water into water vapor. The amount of energy that the water gains to turn into water vapor begins to be transferred into the surrounding air. If the air is willing to take on more energy the water vapor condenses quicker. This is why hot air will hold more water vapor than cold air.
Will a gas with a vapor density of 1.2 float or sink in air?
A gas with a vapor density less than 1 will float in air, while a gas with a vapor density greater than 1 will sink. Since the vapor density of the gas is 1.2, it will sink in air.
What mass of water vapor contained in a given volume of air is?
The mass of water vapor in air is typically expressed in terms of relative humidity, which is the ratio of the actual water vapor pressure in the air to the saturation vapor pressure at a given temperature. It varies depending on temperature and pressure. A psychrometric chart can be used to determine the mass of water vapor in a given volume of air based on these factors.
What is vapour density of air?
The vapor density of air is the ratio of the mass of a certain volume of air to the mass of an equal volume of a reference gas, typically hydrogen or dry air. It is used to compare the density of a gas to that of another gas or to the average molecular weight of air. The vapor density of air is approximately 1.29, meaning that air is slightly heavier than the reference gas hydrogen.
What is water vapor in air?
Water vapor in the air is water in the form of a gas.
How does temperature affect amount of vapor in the air?
The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor in the air. The colder the temperature, the less water vapor in the air.
When water vapor is added to the air the density of the air is?
When water vapor is added to the air, the density of the air decreases. This is because water vapor molecules are less dense than dry air molecules.
What is another word for gas but not air?
Vapor is another word for gas that is not air.
Which is more dense air saturated with water vapor or air unsaturated with water vapor?
Saturated air is more dense.
How does water vapor enter the air?
Water vapor enters the air as water at the surface evaporates or as plants transpire water vapor from their leaves.
What will a hydrate do if its vapor pressure is higher than the vapor pressure of the water vapor in the air?
If a hydrate's vapor pressure is higher than the water vapor in the air, water molecules will evaporate from the hydrate into the air until equilibrium is reached. This process will continue until the vapor pressures are equalized.
A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air is?
Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air. It represents the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a specific temperature, expressed as a percentage.
If cold air mixes with air that has a lot of water vapor what will happen to the water vapor?
It may condense into clouds, or into precipitation, because cooler air cannot hold as much water vapor as warmer air.
What does relative humidity described about air?
Its ratio of the air's water vapor content to its water vapor capacity :)
Why is there a limit on the amount of water vapor the air can hold?
It takes a lot of energy to turn water into water vapor. The amount of energy that the water gains to turn into water vapor begins to be transferred into the surrounding air. If the air is willing to take on more energy the water vapor condenses quicker. This is why hot air will hold more water vapor than cold air.
When water vapor changes into a liquid will the air gets drier or wetter?
drier couse when we have vapor air is wet and when we lost it makes air drier.
