Suppose it is snowing outside and the air is saturated. The air temperature and dew point are both 15F, and the actual vapor pressure is 3 mb. If this air is brought indoors and warmed to 75F, what would the relative humidity of this air be, assuming that its moisture content does not change? (The saturation vapor pressure at 75F is 30 mb).
   a. 5 percent
   b. 10 percent
   c. 30 percent
   d. 50 percent
   e. 100 percent

Question 2

The percentage of water vapor present in the air compared to that required for saturation is the
   a. mixing ratio.
   b. absolute humidity.
   c. dew point.
   d. relative humidity.
   e. specific humidity.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
