Abstract :
Infrared spectroscopy was used to study the clustering of water molecules in various gases. H2O molecules in the gases are shown to be trapped by other H2O molecules or gas molecules. The interaction between water and gas molecules is strong in O2 and He and weak in vacuum, N2, and Freon-22. The clusters of H2O molecules in gases are classified into monomer, dimer, and trimer. Their ratios are 55, 35, and 10%. The ratio does not change with the gas temperature and type of gas
