On a particular hot day, the temperature is 40°C and the partial pressure of water vapor in the air is 38.8 mmHg. What is the relative humidity?
- A. 70
- B. 62
- C. 80
- D. 42
Correct Answer: A. 70
Explanation
Relative Humidity= \(\frac {partial pressure of H2O}{saturated vapor pressure of H2O}\)×100%
S.v.p. of water at 40°c = 55.3
⇒ Relative Humidity= \(\frac{38.8}{55.3}\)×100%
Relative Humidity= 70%
