(a) What is the vapor pressure of water at 20.0◦C? (b) What percentage of atmospheric pressure does this correspond to? (c) What percent of 20.0◦C air is water vapor if it has 100% relative humidity? (The density of dry air at 20.0◦C is 1.20 kg/m3).
I got that the vapor pressure of the water will be 2.33x103 Pa, but I am getting hung up on the formula for part b, which is where I can really use the extra help and explanation. Thanks!
b)
Divide the vapor pressure by atmospheric pressure:
2.33x103 / (1.01*105) *100 = 2.30%
c)
The density of water in this air is equal to the saturation vapor density of water at this temperature, taken as 1.72*10-2 kg/m^3 Dividing by the density of dry air, we can get the percentage of water in the air:
1.72*10-2 kg/m^3 /(1.20 kg/m^3) *100 = 1.43 %

1. (relative humidity) The partial pressure of water vapor in air is usually less than the equilibrium vapor pressure (or saturation pressure) at the ambient temperature; this is why a cup of water will spontaneously evaporate. The ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure (at the same temperature) is called the relative humidity. Saturated air, at 100% relative humidity, would be in equilibrium with a cup of liquid water. The saturation pressure depends strongly...
(10 pts) Six-thousand cubic feet per minutes (C.F.M.) of atmospheric air at 28°C (dry bulb) having a wet bulb temperature of 23°C is to be cooled in an air conditioning system. The air conditioning system lowers the dry bulb temperature of the air to 20° C. Cooling with dehumidification is accomplished using chilled water loop. The chilled water enters the loop at 5°C at a rate of 280 kg/min and experience a 5°C temperature increase. The atmospheric pressure is 1...
We are learning about relative humidity. 1st part- what is the water vapor content at 25 degree C air if its relative humidity is 50%? 50=10/20 x 100% gives me the water vapor content of 10g/kg. 2nd part- If the air was at 25 degree C at sea level, and rises to 1,000 meters, then what will its temperature be? It will drop by 10 degree C, so the temperature will be 15 degrees C. At 15 degree's C the...

Late on an autumn day, the relative humidity is 71.1% and the temperature is 20.0°C. What will the relative humidity be that evening when the temperature has dropped to 15.0°C, assuming constant water vapor density?
At sea level, water boils at 100 °C, and the absolute atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. As the atmospheric pressure above water decreases, the temperature required for boiling also decreases, at a rate of 3.1 kPa per "C. For the system shown below: a. What is the absolute atmospheric pressure at an elevation of 4100 m, assuming a constant unit weight of air of 11.80 N/m3? b. What will be the boiling temperature for water at this elevation?
