What is the absolute humidity (water vapor content) of saturated gas at normal body temperature (37 C)?
 
  a. 47.0 mg/L
  b. 37.0 mg/L
  c. 98.6 mg/L
  d. 43.8 mg/L

Question 2

At a room temperature of 22 C, air has the capacity to hold 19.4 mg/L of water vapor. If the absolute humidity in the air is 7.4 mg/L, then what is the relative humidity (RH)?
 
  a. 45
  b. 58
  c. 70

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
For example, air that is fully saturated with water vapor at 37 C and 760 mm Hg has a water vapor pressure of 47 mm Hg and an absolute humidity of 43.8 mg/L.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If the absolute humidity is 7.4 mg/L, then the RH is calculated as follows:
RH = 7.4 mg/L  19.4 mg/L  100
RH = 0.38100
RH = 38

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
