Question

The relative humidity of ambient air at 300 K is 50% with a partial pressure of water vapour equal to P𝒗. The saturation pressure of water at 300 K is P𝒔𝒂𝒕. The correct relation for the air-water mixture is

Options :

  1. P𝑣 = 0.5 Pπ‘ π‘Žt

  2. P𝑣 = 0.5 Pπ‘ π‘Žt

  3. P𝑣 = 0.622 Pπ‘ π‘Žt

  4. P𝑣 = 2 Pπ‘ π‘Žt

Answer :

P𝑣 = 0.622 Pπ‘ π‘Žt

Solution :

Ο• = 0.5,

Ο• = P v P v s

∴ Pv = 0.5 Pvs

Or

Pv = 0.5 Psat
