What happens to the vapor pressure of a substance when the temperature is increased? What happens when the temperature is decreased? What happens to vapor pressure as the strength of intermolecular forces increases? What happens when a liquid vapor system at equilibrium experienc...
When molecules of water, chemical formula {eq}H_2O {/eq} are suspended in the air we call this humidity. There are three measurements of humidity commonly used. Relative humidity is a ratio of water vapor in the air compared to how much it could hold if saturated, which is expressed ...
Condensation happens when water vapor cools down and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds. Precipitation occurs when these water droplets in clouds become heavy enough to fall back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet or hail. Water vapor also acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat in th...
What happens when salt absorbs moisture? Salt has astrong ability to absorb water from its surroundings. Above a relative humidity of about 75 percent salt will even become deliquescent, meaning it takes up so much water that it becomes a solution. Sugar is also hygroscopic; it forms weak bo...
Humidity can make it feel hotter than it actually is. Humidity can make it feel hotter than the actual temperature if it’s too high. This happens because when you sweat, you’re releasing moisture from your body. When the air is saturated with water, the sweat doesn’t evaporate as quic...
but will eventually become saturated. When that happens, fogging will occur. Exactly how long this will take is dependent on the actual environmental conditions, the sealing and desiccant materials used, the design of the insulating glass, the overall design of the window, and a host of other ...
Dew point is originally a temperature value, but it is used to represent humidity because when the air is already saturated with moisture, the air temperature is the same as the dew point temperature. When the air is not saturated, the air temperature is always higher than the dew point tem...
This typically happens during hot gas rework when the coating is not removed far enough away from the nozzle. If the solder under the coating reaches liquidus temperature it will build pressure and pop out of the coating creating a solderball out on the board surface where it landed. Look ...
The only thing I find that helps is air conditioning which seems to keep the humidity at bay. Unfortunately it does horrible things to my hydro bill. By tlcJPC — On Aug 17, 2011 @Oscar23 – I feel your pain. And, do you know what else happens when it gets that hot and that ...
What happens to the tectonic plates during an earthquake? What happens when a sedimentary rock experiences wind erosion? What type of thunderstorm creates mesocyclone? How much humidity does a waterspout have to have? How big was the smallest waterspout? How big was the Oldsmar, Florida, water...
