In a recent posts, we discussed how the amount of humidity in the air affects the air density. To do this, we explained that because the molar mass of water vapor (H2O) is less than that of the composition of dry air, humid air would therefore be less dense than dry air given that theContinue reading “Molar Masses of Gasses”

Before reading, please check out our previous blog post about how humidity affects the density of air. In our previous post, the question was posed: Is it easier to hit a home run on a humid night or a dry night at the same ball park? The following explanation will help us figure this out.Continue reading “Humidity and the Ideal Gas Law”

Everyone knows the feeling of stepping outside on a hot summer night. The hot and humid air seems to weigh you down. Compare this to a brisk autumn morning when the cool breeze wakes you up with the help of your warm coffee. These two days have far different air densities, and this phenomenon canContinue reading “Which is more dense, humid air or dry air?”
