a.
To determine:
The temperature around which water began to condense on the outside surface of the beaker.
Introduction:
In an experiment, the process of condensation was observed by filling the one-third of the beaker with water and then adding ice to it slowly. The mixture of water and ice are then stirred gently with the thermometer.
b.
To determine:
The relation between the temperature at which the water got condensed and the dew-point temperature of the air in the room measured by a psychrometer.
Introduction:
The dew-point temperature is the temperature around which the saturation occurs. It is also the temperature, where the humidity of air is found to be 100 percent.
