Concept explainers
The method to know the rate of evaporation equals to the rate of condensation.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The relative humidity is defined as the ratio of condensation rate to evaporation rate.
As a liquid water is heated, it converts into gas and the evaporation rate increases at the same time the gas molecules converted into liquid as the condensation rate increases. The equilibrium is obtained as the evaporation rate is equal to condensation rate. The relative humidity is the ratio of condensation rate to the evaporation rate.
For the equal of two rate the relative humidity should be
Conclusion:
The relative humidity is defined as the ratio of condensation rate to evaporation rate. For both rates to be equal, the relative humidity should be
