QUIZ tomorrow 11.1 & 11.2 (including all vocab
through dew point)
Answers to Review ws, side 1
1. A. 5 g B. 10g
C. 15g
D. 50g
2. Saturation, dew point
3. 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 2
7. A. 40 °F
B. 55 °F
C. 65 °F
8. 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. Dew point is the temp when condensation occurs.
The more water vapor in the air, the higher the
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
