Question

The ambient temperature is 85.0°F and the humidity of the surrounding air is reported to be 62.0%. Using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and the boiling point of water as 100.0°C at 760.0 torr, calculate the vapor pressure (in torr) of water in the air. Use 40.7 kJ/mol as the ∆Hvap of water.

Follow-up Question

I used 35.9 torr as my answer and received this feedback "You have calculated the vapor pressure of water at 85.0°F. The air is saturated at this vapor pressure. The percent humidity is the percentage of this pressure that actually exists." I have two attempts remaining and don't know what it is actually looking for.
