The temperature and relative humidity in a room are 300 K and 20 % respectively. The volume of the room is 50 ma. The saturation vapour pressure at 300 K is 3-3 kPa. Calculate the mass of the water vapour present in the room.
Given, T = 300K,
Relative humidity = 20 %,
V= 50 m3
SVP at 300 K = 3.3 KPa
VP = Relative humidity \times SVP
= (0.2×3.3×103)
PV = mRTM
⇒0.2×3.3×103×50
= m×8.3×30018
⇒m=0.2×3.3×50×18×1038.3×300
= 238.55 g ≈ 238 g
Mass of water present in the room = 238 g
