(5) Number of moles of the gas mixture

 

b.) What is the partial pressure of water? Express in two decimal points. 

c.) Where can you get the vapor pressure of water?

 Choices 

(1) Get vapor pressure of water at the given temperature using antoine equation.

(2) Use relative humidity to solve for the vapor pressure.

(3) Assume that partial pressure and vapor pressure is equal.

(4) The vapor pressure is assumed to be atmospheric pressure.

(5) Insufficient information was given to solve this problem

 

d.) What is the relative humidity of the gas mixture?  Express in two decimal points.
