  2. Water (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_(data_page)

    In the following table, material data are given with a pressure of 611.7 Pa (equivalent to 0.006117 bar). Up to a temperature of 0.01 °C, the triple point of water, water normally exists as ice, except for supercooled water, for which one data point is tabulated here. At the triple point, ice can exist together with both liquid water and vapor.

  3. Water vapor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor

    Water vapor can also be indirect evidence supporting the presence of extraterrestrial liquid water in the case of some planetary mass objects. Water vapor, which reacts to temperature changes, is referred to as a 'feedback', because it amplifies the effect of forces that initially cause the warming. Therefore, it is a greenhouse gas. [2]

  4. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Because the amount of water vapor in the air is small, relative humidity, the ratio of the partial pressure due to the water vapor to the saturated partial vapor pressure, is much more useful. Vapor pressure above 100% relative humidity is called supersaturated and can occur if the air is rapidly cooled, for example, by rising suddenly in an ...

  5. Vapour pressure of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_pressure_of_water

    The boiling point of water is the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure equals the ambient pressure. Water supercooled below its normal freezing point has a higher vapor pressure than that of ice at the same temperature and is, thus, unstable. Calculations of the (saturation) vapor pressure of water are commonly used in meteorology.

    A Assuming an altitude of 194 metres above mean sea level (the worldwide median altitude of human habitation), an indoor temperature of 23 °C, a dewpoint of 9 °C (40.85% relative humidity), and 760 mmHg sea level–corrected barometric pressure (molar water vapor content = 1.16%). B Calculated values *Derived data by calculation.

  7. Saturation vapor density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_vapor_density

    The saturation vapor density (SVD) is the maximum density of water vapor in air at a given temperature. [1] The concept is related to saturation vapor pressure (SVP). It can be used to calculate exact quantity of water vapor in the air from a relative humidity (RH = % local air humidity measured / local total air humidity possible ) Given an RH percentage, the density of water in the air is ...

    The various triple points of water Phases in stable equilibrium Pressure Temperature liquid water, ice I h, and water vapor 611.657 Pa [8] 273.16 K (0.01 °C) liquid water, ice I h, and ice III: 209.9 MPa 251 K (−22 °C) liquid water, ice III, and ice V: 350.1 MPa −17.0 °C liquid water, ice V, and ice VI: 632.4 MPa 0.16 °C

  9. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    Effect of temperature and relative humidity on air density. The addition of water vapor to air (making the air humid) reduces the density of the air, which may at first appear counter-intuitive. This occurs because the molar mass of water vapor (18 g/mol) is less than the molar mass of dry air [note 2] (around 29 g/mol).
