In case of an unsaturated mixture of gas and vapor, the percentage saturation is __________________ its relative saturation?

Correct answer: A. Lower than

  • A. Lower than
  • B. Higher than
  • C. Equal to
  • D. Either A. or B., depends on the mixture composition

Explanation

For an unsaturated gas-vapour mixture, percentage saturation based on humidity is lower than relative saturation based directly on vapour partial pressure. The difference arises because humidity uses the dry-gas pressure in its denominator.
