Answers to Review ws, side 1

1. A. 5 g B. 10g C. 15g D. 50g2. Saturation, dew point3. A. (1/5) x 100 = 20% B. (6/10) x 100 = 60% C. (10/15) x 100 = 67% D. (20/50) x 100 = 40%4. Not possible. This is above 100% R.H.5. Possible. R.H. = (10/27) x 100 = 37%6. As the temperature increases, the amount of

water a sample of air can hold increases.

Answers to Review ws, side 27. A. 40 °F B. 55 °F C. 65 °F8. As relative humidity increases, so does the dew point.

IOW, it is easier for the water vapor to condense when there are more water molecules in the air.

9.9. Dew point is the temp when condensation occurs. Dew point is the temp when condensation occurs. The more water vapor in the air, the higher the The more water vapor in the air, the higher the relative humidity, so the higher the dew point.relative humidity, so the higher the dew point.

10. The warm, moist air has a high R.H. and reaches the dew point when it cools around the glass, therefore forming condensation
