At 20oC, the partial pressure of water is 0.0231 atm, meaning water vapor accounts for _____% of the air.

Homework Answers

Answer #1

air pressure = 1 atm

water pressure = 0.0231

water vapor pressure percentage = water pressure x 100 / total air pressure

                                                     = 0.0231 x 100 / 1

                                                      = 2.31 %
