In this case, the tension of thevapor balances the tendency of the liquid topass into a state of vapor. Yet the quantityof watery vapor necessary to… … HEAT. 183 Fig. 28. Tlie limit of tension of a given vapor varies with the temperature. The amount of vapor required to saturate a given space also varieswith the temperature. liain is caused by the vapors (whicli are less dense than the air inlow regions) rising to regions where they are condensed…
