Chapter 2, Problem 2.40P

A hygrometer, which measures the amount of moisture in a gas stream, is to be calibrated using the apparatus shown here:

Chapter 2, Problem 2.40P, A hygrometer, which measures the amount of moisture in a gas stream, is to be calibrated using the

Steam and dry air are fed at known flow rates and mixed to form a gas stream with a known water content, and the hygrometer reading is recorded; the flow rate of either the water or the air is changed to produce a stream with a different water content and the new reading is recorded, and so on. The following data are taken:

    Mass Fraction of Water, y Hygrometer Reading, R
    0.011 5
    0.044 20
    0.083 40
    0.126 60
    0.170 80

  1. Draw a calibration curse and determine an equation for y(R).
  2. Suppose a sample of a stack gas is inserted in the sample chamber of the hygrometer and a reading of R = 43 is obtained. If the mass flow rate of the stack gas is 1200 kg/h, what is the mass flow rate of water vapor in the gas?

Could you please turn this into a complete Lewis dot structure formula for me so I can visualize it more clearly? and then do the explaining for the resonance structures that were given please.

please solve. If the answer is "no error" and it asks me to type something, and i typed a-helix, its always wrong.
