Question:

Consider a 31.0 L sample of moist air at 60.°C and one atm in which the partial pressure of water vapor is 0.131 atm. Assume that dry air has the composition 78.0 mole percent N2, 21.0 mole percent O2, and 1.00 mole percent Ar.

a. What are the mole percentages of each of the gases in the sample?

b. The percent relative humidity is defined as %RH = PH2O/PH2O where PH2O is the partial pressure of water in the sample and PH2O = 0.197 atm is the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at 60.°C. The gas is compressed at 60.°C until the relative humidity is 100.%. What volume does the mixture contain now?

c. What fraction of the water will be condensed if the total pressure of the mixture is isothermally increased to 81.0 atm?
