Using the formulas stated above in this lab perform the following calculations and answer the questions. You must show your work.
1. If the water vapor capacity of the atmosphere in a given location is 25 grams per kilogram of air sampled, and the actual amount of water vapor present is 5 grams per kilogram of air sampled, what is the relative humidity?
2. If the water vapor capacity of the atmosphere in a given location is 12 grams per kilogram of air sampled, and the actual amount of water vapor present is 3 grams per kilogram of air sampled, what is the relative humidity?
3. If the mixing ratio of a sample of air is 5 grams/kilogram, and the temperature of the sample is 15 degrees Celsius, yielding a saturation mixing ration of 10 grams/kilogram, what is the relative humidity of the sample?
