Q

The process of removing moisture from air is known as what?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Moisture content in air and what it means to change it • Difference between adding water to air and removing water from air • Common terms used in air conditioning and refrigeration for drying air

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if a room feels damp and you want to dry the air, what kind of household appliance would you use, and what process is it performing? • Which option’s root word suggests making something more wet, and which suggests making it less wet? • Think about the meaning of each choice in everyday language: which ones deal with a change of state of water (liquid to vapor) versus a change in the amount of water in the air?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly means adding moisture to the air and eliminate it. • Identify which two options are about phase change (liquid ↔ gas) rather than the overall moisture content of the air and consider if they fit the question. • Focus on the option whose root word means reducing humidity or moisture level in the air.
