  28. Answers to Review ws, side 1 • A. 5 g B. 10g C. 15g D. 50g • Saturation, dew point • A. (1/5) x 100 = 20% B. (6/10) x 100 = 60% C. (10/15) x 100 = 67% D. (20/50) x 100 = 40% • Not possible. This is above 100% R.H. • Possible. R.H. = (10/27) x 100 = 37% • As the temperature increases, the amount of water a sample of air can hold increases.

  29. Answers to Review ws, side 2 • A. 40 °F B. 55 °F C. 65 °F • 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. • 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. • The warm, moist air has a high R.H. and reaches the dew point when it cools around the glass, therefore forming condensation
