Assume that the temperature decreases to 20°C.
3. What is the Water Vapor Capacity?
4. What is the Specific Humidity?
5. Calculate the Relative Humidity (use 1 decimal, and make sure you round correctly).
Note: if your answer is >100%, you have made a mistake.
16. Show your calculation. Just write down the numbers (so that the computer can recognize it; for
me on exams, you will write down the units as well!)
17. Your answer to Specific Humidity should now be below 20g H₂O/kg. What has happened to the
rest of the water?
