Air with a relative humidity of 100 percent is said to be ____
|
|
Saturated
|
|
|
Unsaturated
|
|
|
Hot
|
|
|
Humid
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Air is said to be saturated at 100 percent relative humidity when it contains the maximum amount of moisture possible at that specific temperature. Air holding half the maximum amount of moisture at a given temperature has a relative humidity of 50 percent.
Detailed explanation-2: -At 100% relative humidity, the air is saturated and is at its dew point.
Detailed explanation-3: -The saturation humidity Hs is the maximum quantity of water vapor that air can contain at a given temperature, without phase separation. The relative humidity ( or RH) is the ratio (as percentage) of the partial pressure of water vapor in air, to the vapor pressure of liquid water at the same temperature.
