Given the formula:relative humidity = specific humidity x 100% = maximum capacityThe maximum amount of water vapor air can contain at a particular temperature is 50 g/kg. If the air only contained (specific humidity) 10 g/kg, how much water vapor can it contain?

Respuesta :

Answer: It can contain 20%  water vapor  .

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The relative humidity is defined as the amount of water in the air.

Given formula : [tex]\text{Relative Humidity}=\dfrac{\text{Specific humidity}}{\text{maximum capacity}}\times100[/tex]

Given : The maximum amount of water vapor air can contain at a particular temperature= 50 g/kg.

Specific humidity =10 g/kg

Then, [tex]\text{Relative Humidity}=\dfrac{10}{50}\times100= 20\%[/tex]

i.e. Relative humidity = 20% .

Hence, it can contain 20% water vapor  .
