Air at 30 degrees Celsius has a water partial pressure of 2 kilopascals when the saturation pressure is 4.24 kilopascals. What is the relative humidity?

  • A.about 2 per cent
  • B.about 47 per cent
  • C.about 21 per cent
  • D.about 53 per cent

Answer: B

Two divided by four point two four is about forty-seven per cent. The saturation pressure must be read at the actual air temperature, not at some standard condition. The ratio is dimensionless and independent of the total pressure.
