actual humidity

absolute humidity

humidity

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
a. If the absolute humidity of air is 27.6 g/kg, how many grams of water vapor are there in the 4.8 kg of air? b. Air at temperature 20.0°C contains some water vapor. If the partial pressure of water vapor is 1.98 kPa, what is the relative humidity of the air in %? The saturation water vapor pressure at 20.0°C is 2.34 kPa. c. If the relative humidity of air is 80 % at 18.0°C, what is the partial pressure of water vapor in the air in the unit of kPa? The saturation water vapor pressure at 18.0°C is 2.07 kPa.
By ideal gas law, the thermal pressure of a gas depends on A. number density of particles only. B. temperature only. C. gravity. D. number density of particles and temperature.
17. Which of the following three statements concerning relative humidity values of 30% and 40% are true? Note that when the relative humidityis 30%, the air temperature may be diff erent than it is when the relativehumidity is 40%. A. It is possible that at a relative humidity of 30% there is a smaller partial pressure of water vapor in the air than there is at a relativehumidity of 40%.B. It is possible that there is the same partial pressure of water vapor in the air at 30% and at 40% relative humidity. C. It is possible that at a relative humidity of 30% there is a greater partial pressure of water vapor in the air than there is at a relative humidity of 40%.(a) A, B, and C (b) Only A and B (c) Only A and C (d) Only B and C(e) Only A
