Question

Given: Saturated air changes temperature by 0.5°C/100 m. The air is completely saturated at the dew point. The dew point has been reached, and the temperature is 2°C. The air continues to rise another 1,400 m. What is the final temperature?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

saturated air temperature by
`0.5^(\circ)C/100 m`

Dew point temperature is given by
`t=2^(\circ)C`

Dew point is defined as the temperature after which air no longer to uphold the water vapor fuse with it and some water vapor may condense to a liquid.

air continues to rise for 1400 m

i.e. change in temperature would be
`\Delta t =(0.5)/(100)* 1400=7^(\circ)C`

Final temperature
`t_f`

`t_f+\Delta t=t`

`t_f=2-7=-5^(\circ)C`
