Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.131QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The relative humidity has to be determined with the given conditions.
Concept Introduction:
Relative Humidity is expressed in percent of the quantity of atmospheric moisture relative to the quantity that would be there if the air were flooded. Given that the latter amount is dependent on temperature; comparative humidity is a purpose of both moisture content and temperature.
- The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure.
- Assuming we have a mixture of ideal gases, we can use the
ideal gas law to solve problems involving gases in a mixture. - Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases:

13. A sample of air in a closed container is heated.
(a) Would the total pressure of the air in the container increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?
Explain your reasoning.
(b) Would the percentage of oxygen in the air in the container increase, decrease, or remain
unchanged? Explain your reasoning.
(c) Would the partial pressure of oxygen in the container increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?
Explain your reasoning.
(d) What would be the partial pressure of nitrogen, PN,in a room in which the total air pressure was
0.987 atm?
The vapor pressure of mercury at 20 oC is 1.7 x 10-6 atm. Your lab partner breaks a mercury thermometer and spills most of the mercury onto the floor. The dimensions of the laboratory are 16.0 m x 8.0 m x 3.0 m (l x w x h). At 20 oC, calculate the mass (in grams) of the mercury vapor in the room. Determine if the concentration of mercury vapor exceeds air quality regulations of 5.0 x 10-2 mg/m3. How would you clean up this spell?
Humidity is the percentage of partial pressure of water in air over the total possible water in the air. On the first day of the spring semester the humidity was 72%, but it did not feel humid outside. Calculate the partial pressure of water in air at this time and justify why it did not feel humid. You may find it helpful to compare the first day of the spring semester to the first day of the fall semester, where the humidity was 89% on the first day of class.

- Each sketch below shows a flask with some gas and a pool of mercury in it. The gas is at a pressure of 1 atm. A J-shaped tube is connected to the bottom of the flask, and the mercury can freely flow in or out of this tube. (You can assume that there is so much more mercury in the pool than can fit into the tube that even if the J-tube is completely filled, the level of mercury in the pool won't change.) Notice also that in the left sketch the J-tube is open at its other end, so that air from the atmosphere can freely flow. On the other hand, in the right sketch the J-tube is closed at its other end, and you should assume there is no gas between the mercury and the closed end of the tube. To answer this question, you must decide what the mercury level will be when the mercury finally stops flowing in or out of the tube. By moving the sliders back and forth, you'll see different levels of mercury in the J-tube.
