2.
The air is currently at a temperature of 50°F and contains 4 g/m
of water vapor. Will
the relative humidity be higher or lower if the temperature rises to 68°F and by what
percent? Answer: Lower by about 38%

4.
A parcel of air is 20°C and contains 7 g/m
of water vapor. What is the relative
humidity of this parcel of air?
Answer: 40%
a. The parcel of air rises into the atmosphere and cools at 7°C/km of altitude. At
what altitude would condensation begin to occur? Answer: 2.2 km
5.
A geologist working in the field drinks her morning coffee out of an aluminum cup.
The cup has a mass of 0.120 kg and is initially at 20.0°C when she pours in 0.300 kg
of coffee initially at 70.0°C. What is the final temperature after the coffee and the cup
attain thermal equilibrium? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat capacity as
water and that the only heat exchange is between the coffee and the aluminum cup.
Answer: 66.0°C
6.
