Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative Humidity (%) = (water vapor content÷water vapor capacity) × 100

=(7÷35)×100

=(0.2)×100

=20%

According to the Temperature-Water Vapor Capacity Table, the water capacity at 35 °C is 35 grams.

Water Vapor Capacity: The amount of water (grams) which air can hold at a given temperature.

Water Vapor Content: The amount of water vapor actually present in the air.
