Question 1 How does water vapor partition from a liquid into the surrounding gas?
H2Og H2Og H2Og H2Ol H2Ol H2Ol H2Ol H2Ol H2Ol
Vapor Phase above Water • Water will evaporate until the moisture content reaches a temperature dependant equilibrium. • Or in an open container, eventually all of the water will evaporate
Question 2 How does water vapor partition from a solution into the surrounding gas?
H2Og H2Og H2Og solute H2Ol solute H2Ol solute solute H2Ol H2Ol
Vapor Pressure above a Solution p0 Vapor pressure of water IDEAL 1 0 Mole fraction of water
Vapor above a Solution • A solution will lose moisture to the atmosphere • The partial pressure of water above the solution is reduced by the presence of solute • Vapor pressure depends on concentration of solute as well as temperature
Saturated Solutions Solubility limit Liquid phase concentration=solubility limit p0 Vapor pressure of water 1 0 Mole fraction of water
Question 3 How does the partitioning of water vapor from a solution depend on solution composition?
p0 Vapor pressure of water IDEAL 1 0 Mole fraction of water
Vapor Depends on Solution Composition • Non-ideal properties of solutions mean some have a greater affinity for water than others. • The vapor pressure will always be less than above pure water but not necessarily the same over all solutions • Different saturated solutions will have different partial pressures of water
Question 4 What happens when two different solutions are placed in the same container?
Two solutions/One container • Both solutions will exchange water with the atmosphere • The whole system will finally come to equilibrium • The equilibrium concentration of both solutions will be such that they are in equilibrium with the atmosphere. • The moisture content need not be the same. The partial pressure will be.
Water Activity aw=p/po~%ERH Partial pressure of water above the solution normalized to the partial pressure above pure water.

Macaroni into 2-cup microwavable cereal bowl. Add 2/3 cup water. Macaroni and water, uncovered, on HIGH 3-1/2 to 4 minutes or until Macaroni is tender. DO NOT DRAIN. Some water remaining in bowl is desirable and necessary to make cheese sauce.CAUTION:Bowl will beVery Hot. Cheese Sauce Mix; mix well. If cheese sauce appears thin, do not put back in microwave. Cheese sauce will thicken upon standing.
Did you know results from a recent in-home taste test with raisin bran users - like you - showed that our flakes are crispier than Kellogg's® Raisin Bran's and stay crispier longer in milk?
