10/28 - Lab on Relative Humidity and Dew Point

Today the summary and sect review for Ch 24.2 was due. If you were absent, you will need to turn it in on monday to the absent notebook.

We did a lab today on relative humidity and the dew point. We calculated the relative humidity of the classroom, based on the difference in temperature between a wet and dry bulb thermometer. Then we calculated what the dew point of the room was by adding ice to a beaker of water, and writing down the temperature at which we got condensation on the outside (when the air right outside of the glass had reached saturation). If you were absent, I'd like you to make the lab up next week.

Remember, the 24.3 Summary and section review is DUE on Monday, don't forget!!
