Question

What is Dry pressure, wet pressure and aqueous tension?

Answer 1

Dry Pressure is the Normal Pressure, Otherwise we can say that without water content


Air pressure is the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on the earth. Wet Pressure is the amount of moisture the air can hold before it rains. The most it can hold is 100 percent. Humidity is measured by a psychrometer, which indicates the amount of water in the air at any one temperature.


Aqueous tension is defined as pressure exerted by the water vapor above the surface specially of water whose temperature lie in the range of liquid state. ... Thus its is also called as water vapor pressure. The value of aqueous tension increases with the increase in temperature.
