Document Summary

Vapour pressure deficit: the gap between the vapour pressure of whatever you have (e. g. air) and the. Lecture 6 anhydrobiosis maximum amount of water that the air can contain. It is saturated vs. not: what that means is that you can calculate the vapour pressure deficit of the inside and outside of the lungs. Water will go from a higher vapour pressure to a lower vapour pressure. If you have something wet, then the water will tend to evaporate out to something dry. If you have a solution of a liquid with a bunch of salts and solutes in it, it reduces the vapour pressure. If you put enough salts in a solution, it will actually gain moisture from the atmosphere e. g. potato chips. The salt on the surface of the potato chips has a lower water vapour than the air in the summer so. In the summer, when it"s humid, the potato chips are soggy and gross.
