The Amount of Water Vapor theAir Can Hold Depends onTemperature! The amount of water vapor that may beevaporated into air is directly proportional tothe air temperature. That is, the higher thetemperature, the more water vapor the aircan hold.
For Example! Allow liquid water in a closed container toevaporate until the air is saturated.! Warm the air by 20 F, and evaporation will beginagain because the air is no longer saturated. Atthe new saturation, when evaporation stops, twicethe original amount of water will be in the air.! Warm the air another 20 F, and the water in the airwill double again when saturation is reached andevaporation stops.
