  2. 7.5 hPa
  3. 8.5 hPa
  4. 9.5 hPa

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the temperature increases by 1°C, how much does the saturation vapor pressure increase approximately?
  • Step 1: Understand what saturation vapor pressure is. It is the pressure at which water vapor is in equilibrium with liquid water at a given temperature.
  • Step 2: Know that as temperature increases, the capacity of air to hold water vapor also increases.
  • Step 3: Recognize that for every 1°C increase in temperature, the saturation vapor pressure increases.
  • Step 4: Learn that this increase is approximately 6.5 hPa (hectopascals).
  • Step 5: Conclude that if the temperature goes up by 1°C, the saturation vapor pressure will rise by about 6.5 hPa.
  • Saturation Vapor Pressure – The pressure exerted by water vapor in the air when it is in equilibrium with its liquid phase at a given temperature.
  • Temperature and Vapor Pressure Relationship – The principle that saturation vapor pressure increases with temperature, typically quantified as approximately 6.5 hPa per 1°C increase.
