70% to passThe temperature at which water vapor in an atmosphere condenses to a liquid is known as which of the following?
A
the dew point
B
the bubble point
C
equilibrium
D
the flash point
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) the dew point. The dew point is the temperature at which water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into liquid water droplets. This occurs when the air is saturated with water vapor and cannot hold any more moisture. As the temperature drops, the air reaches the point where the water vapor condenses, forming dew or other forms of precipitation. The other answer choices are incorrect. The bubble point refers to the temperature at which a liquid begins to boil, equilibrium is a state of balance, and the flash point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air.
