Humidity Humidity Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in air. Water vapour, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the human eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. The amount of water vapour needed to achieve saturation increases as the temperature increases. As the temperature of a parcel of air decreases it will eventually reach the saturation point without adding or losing water mass. The amount of water vapour contained within a parcel of air can vary significantly. For example, a parcel of air near saturation may contain 28 grams of
Amount of substance the molar mass. Molar quantities are sometimes denoted by a subscript Latin "m" in the symbol, e.g. "C", molar heat capacity at constant pressure: the subscript may be omitted if there is no risk of ambiguity, as is often the case in pure chemistry. The main derived quantity in which amount of substance enters into the numerator is amount of substance concentration, "c". This name is often abbreviated to "amount concentration", except in clinical chemistry where "substance concentration" is the preferred term to avoid ambiguity with mass concentration. The term "molar concentration" is incorrect, but commonly used. The alchemists, and
