Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Unlike liquids, gases are readily compressed and expanded and fill the spaces available to them by diffusion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The BH of a gas is the ratio of its actual water vapor content to the water vapor capacity in saturated gas at body temperature (37 C). Thus, BH is the same as RH, except that the capac-ity (or denominator) is fixed at 43.8 mg/L.
