The relative humidity of air equals the ratio of the partial pressure of water in the air to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at the same temperature times 100%. If the relative humidity of the air is 58% and its temperature is 68 oF , how many moles of water are present in a room measuring 12 ft x 10 ft x 8 ft? The vapor pressure of water at 68 oF is 17.54 torr.

15. The relative humidity of air equals the ratio of the partial pressure of water in the air to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at the same temperature times 100%. If the relative humidity of the air is 56% and its temperature is 70°F, how many grams of water are present in a room measuring 15 ft x 10 ft x 11 ft? The vapor pressure of water at 68 °F is 17.54 torr. Show your work 15. The...
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...

1) An air-water vapor mixture at 95°F has a relative humidity of 45%. Calculate the partial pressure of the water vapor and its dew-point temperature. (Hint: Psychrometric chart is really useful for this.)
Assume all gases in this problem are ideal (a) If the partial pressure of water vapor is 31.8 torr, what is the dew point (in °C)? (760 torr- 1 atm 101,325 Pa) oC (b) On a warm day when the air temperature is 25°C and the dew point is 18°C, what are the partial pressure of the water in the air (in Pa) and the relative humidity? partial pressure R.H. Pa

Be sure to answer all parts. On a humid day in New Orleans, the temperature is 23.0°C, and the partial pressure of water vapor in the air is 39.0 torr. The 9,000-ton air-conditioning system in the Louisiana Superdome maintains the inside air temperature at the same 23.0°C, but produces a partial pressure of water vapor of 10.0 torr. The volume of air in the dome is 2.4 x 106 m, and the total pressure inside and outside the dome are...
a) Define relative humidity (2 marks) b) Describe the relation between relative humidity, the capacity of air to hold moisture a ambient temperature. (2 marks) c) Moist air at 22°C and a wet bulb temperature of 9°C enters a steam spray humidifier. The mass flow of the dry air is 90 kg/min. Saturated water vapor at 110 °C is injected into the mixture at a rate of 52 kg/hr. There is no heat transfer with the surroundings, and the pressure...
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...
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air at a given time. At warm temperatures, air can hold more moisture than it can at cold temperatures. Relative humidity is the amount of vapor the air is holding expressed as a percentage of the amount the air is capable of holding. For example, at 86 degrees Fahrenheit, air can hold a maximum of 30.4 grams of water per cubic meter. If the air at the same temperature is holding...
