(a)
Interpretation:
The humidity is
Concept Introduction:
Water vapor concentration in air is termed as humidity. There is a limit on the number density of molecules of water which may be in the air for a given temperature. The air saturates at a certain point due to which no net evaporation takes place further.
(a)
Answer to Problem 11E
The actual vapor density is
Explanation of Solution
The percent of the maximum humidity for a specified temperature is termed as relative humidity. When the air holds the maximum amount of water vapor for the temperature of the air, it is at
The maximum vapor density at
The graph showing variation in vapor density with temperature represents the maximum number density, that is, for air maximum vapor density is in temperatures range between
The value of y, for
The value of y, for
