Because humidity depends only on water’s vapor pressure and temperature, are the saturation vapor densities listed in Table 13.5 valid in an atmosphere of helium at a pressure of 1.01×105 N/m2 , rather than air? Are those values affected by altitude on Earth?
The rate of change of atmospheric pressure P with respect to altitude h is
proportional to P, provided that the temperature is constant. At 15°C the pressure is
101.3 kPa at sca level and 87.14 kPa at h = 1000 m.
(a) What is the pressure at an altitude of 3000 m?
(b) What is the pressure on top of Mount McKinley, at an altitude of 6187 m?
The vapor pressure of water at 10 °C is 1300 Pa. (a) What percentage of atmospheric pressure is this? Take atmospheric pressure to be
1.013 x 105 Pa. (b) What percentage of the total air pressure at 10 °C is due to water vapor when the relative humidity is 100%? (c) The
vapor pressure of water at 30 °C is 4300 Pa. What is the relative humidity at this temperature if the partial pressure of water in the air
has not changed from what it was at 10 °C when the relative humidity was 100%?
(a) Percentage = Number i
(b) Percentage = Number ₁
(c) Percentage = Number i
