hydrologic cycle...surface of 15 °C, the partial pressure of water vapour at equilibrium with pure water is 0.017 atmosphere. The addition of salts to pure water lowers its vapour pressure. The equilibrium, or saturation, water vapour pressure of a saturated solution of sodium chloride is 22 percent lower than that of pure water. Precipitable water vapour has, on the average, a vapour pressure of 0.0025...
study of humidity...vapour pressure of a sample of air to the saturation pressure at the existing temperature. Further, the capacity for vapour and the effect of temperature can now be presented in the usual terms of saturation vapour pressure.
