Given a parcel of Air with a temperature of 40ºC and an Absolute Humidity (AH) of 25 grams/cubic meter.

1. What is the relative humidity (RH) of the air?

2. If the same parcel is cooled TO 30ºC but the AH stayed the same, what would the RH be now?

3. If the same parcel is warmed TO 40ºC but the AH stayed the same, what would the RH be now?

4. If the RH of a parcel of air is 40%, and the air temperature is 15ºC, what is the Absolute Humidity of the air?

5. A cubic meter of air at 20ºC is completely saturated. If that parcel were cooled to 10ºC what would be the new maximum capacity? at 20º .

6. What happens to the extra water between 20º and 10º C? It condenses out.
