With increase in absolute humidity, the dew point of an unsaturated mixture of air and water vapor (at constant pressure and temperature) ?

Correct answer: A. Increases

  • A. Increases
  • B. Remains unchanged
  • C. Decreases
  • D. Decreases linearly

Explanation

Dew point is the temperature at which the existing water vapour becomes saturated. Increasing absolute humidity increases the water-vapour partial pressure, so saturation is reached at a higher temperature.
