Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Relative humidity decreases when the absolute humidity is held constant and the temperature of the gas is increased because the warmer gas has a higher capacity. Mathematically, when the de-nominator of a ratio is increased, the whole number will decrease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Evaporation occurs when liquid molecules near the surface contain enough kinetic energy to break free and enter a vapor state without the addition of heat. Vaporization is the energy re-quired to vaporize a liquid. The boiling point is when the water is heated to a point at which molecules leave the liquid state and produce water vapor.
