A sample of warm moist air (100 % relative humidity) is collected in a container at p = 759.9 Torr and T = 30.0 oC. The vapour pressure of water at this temperature is 31.8 Torr. Find the concentration in grams per litre of water vapour in the original air sample.
Added by Devon T.
Step 1
Given: Total pressure, P = 759.9 Torr Vapor pressure of water at 30.0 oC, P_water = 31.8 Torr Partial pressure of water vapor, P_water_vapor = P - P_water P_water_vapor = 759.9 - 31.8 P_water_vapor = 728.1 Torr Show more…

The ambient temperature is 85.0°F and the humidity of the surrounding air is reported to be 65.0%. Using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and the boiling point of water as 100.0°C at 760.0 torr, calculate the vapor pressure (in torr) of water in the air. Use 40.7 kJ/mol as the ΔHvap of water.
