Dew Point Lab Reflection
1.
Explain why the water formed on the outside of the can, including where the water came from.
2.
Suppose the water vapor did not condense until an even lower dew point was reached. What would that tell you about the amount of water vapor in the air?
3.
What would form on the can if the dew point temperature were below freezing?
4.
What happens to the temperature of air as it rises higher in the troposphere?
5.
What happens to the water vapor in air as it rises and cools to the dew point?
6.
Why are meteorologists interested in dew point temperature?
