The relative humidity at 15°C with an actual water vapor content of 7 g/kg is 70%

How to determine the relative humidity?
Given:

Maximum water vapor content at 15°C = 10 g/kg

Actual water vapor content = 7 g/kg

To find the relative humidity (RH), use the formula:


\[ \text{RH} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual water vapor content}}{\text{Maximum water vapor content}} \right) * 100 \%\]

Plug in the values:


\[ \text{RH} = \left( \frac{7 \text{ g/kg}}{10 \text{ g/kg}} \right) * 100 \% = \left(0.7\right) * 100 \% = 70\% \]

Therefore, the relative humidity at 15°C with an actual water vapor content of 7 g/kg is 70%.

Complete question:

Air at 15° C can hold 10 g/kg of water vapor. What is the relative humidity if the actual content is 7 g/kg?
