Discussion
Which criticism applies to the phrase that warm air holds more water?
Answer: C
Saturation vapour pressure is a property of water at a given temperature and would be the same in a vacuum as in air, so the air is not holding anything. The correct statement is that the equilibrium vapour pressure over a water surface rises with temperature. The phrase gives the right answer for the wrong reason, which matters as soon as one tries to reason about situations it does not cover. The shared properties explain why these belong to one family, and the differences explain why more than one exists.
