A package of air contains 600 g of water vapor. The total volume of air is 2 m

^3 and the volume of dry air is 1.5 m^3. The density of air is 1200 g/m3.

Calculate the absolute humidity, specific humidity, and mixing ratio.

Absolute Humidity: 600 g/2 m^3 = 300 g/m^3

Specific Humidity: 600 g/1.5 m^3 = 400 g/m^3

Mixing Ratio: 600 g/1200 g/m^3 = 0.5 g/g

Did you know that the absolute humidity, specific humidity, and mixing ratio can be calculated using information about the volume of air and the weight of water vapor it contains? In this example, a package of air with a total volume of 2 m^3 and a dry air volume of 1.5 m^3 contains 600 g of water vapor. The density of the air is 1200 g/m3. Absolute humidity can be calculated by dividing the weight of water vapor by the volume of air, resulting in 300 g/m^3. Specific humidity can be calculated by dividing the weight of water vapor by the total weight of the air, resulting in 0.2. Lastly, the mixing ratio can be calculated by dividing the weight of water vapor by the weight of dry air, resulting in 0.4. These calculations help us understand the moisture content of the air and are important for meteorology and other fields.
