Write a note on: Saturation of air with vapour.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i. When a given volume of air contains maximum possible water vapour, it is said to be saturated with vapour at that temperature.
ii. If the amount exceeds this limit, excess vapour is converted into water droplets.
iii. Dew drops, condensation of water droplets on the surface of water bottle taken out from refrigerator are some visible examples of air being saturated with water vapour.
iv. As saturation of air with vapour depends on the temperature of air, air saturated at a specific temperature becomes unsaturated if its temperature is increased

Find the difference between air saturated and unsaturated with vapour.

Select the appropriate option and complete the following paragraph. (pressure, high, steam, unsaturated, saturated, vapour, low, temperature, volume) For a given ___ of air, at a specific temperature, there is a limit on how much water vapour the air can contain. If the amount exceeds this limit, the excess ___ converts into water· droplets. When the air contains maximum possible water vapour, it is said to be ___ with vapour at that temperature. The amount of vapour needed to saturate the air depends on ___ of the air. If air temperature is ___ , it will need less vapour to saturate the air. If the vapour contained in air is less that the maximum limit, then the air is said to be --- .

The mass of water vapour in air enclosed in a certain space 60g and the mass of water vapour needed to saturate the same air with water vapour under the same condition is 100g.What is the corresponding % relative humidity ?
