Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
RH = (AH/capacity)  100. (15 mg/L/20.6 mg/L)  100 = 72.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Medical aerosol must deposit anywhere from the upper airways to the lower airways; therefore, it must be the appropriate size for the target site, with a range of 0.2 m to 50 m. Fog and mist are considered aerosols, not water vapor. Medical aerosols need to be larger than water vapor mole-culesotherwise they would be too stable to deposit at their target site.
