Investigation 6

Question 1

Evaporation

Answer 1

Heat turning a liquid into a gas

Question 2

Condensation

Answer 2

Vapor cooling to dew point - changes gas into a liquid

Question 3

Relative Humidity

Answer 3

Comparing the amount if water vapor in the air to the amount that air could possibly hold

Question 4

Humidity

Answer 4

The amount of water vapor in the air

Question 5

Saturation

Answer 5

When relative humidity is 100% and the air is holding the max amount of water vapor

Question 6

Condensation Nucleus

Answer 6

The surface on which water vapor condenses

Question 7

Kinetic Energy during Evaporation

Answer 7

The kinetic energy gets faster

Question 8

Kinetic Energy during Condensation

Answer 8

The kinetic energy gets slower

Question 9

Temperature and Air Pressure relationship

Answer 9

Warm air has low pressure and cold air has high pressure

Question 10

Frost

Answer 10

Water vapor that condenses on a surface that has temperatures below 0 degrees celsius

Question 11

Humidity and Relative Humidity difference

Answer 11

Humidity - the amount of water vapor in the air (g)

Relative Humidity - comparing the amount of water vapor in a volume of air to how much that air can hold (%)
