A rain forest display at the Winnipeg Zoo has a volume on 700 m3, and is supposed to be
at a humidity of 84%. The display and outdoor temperature are 30.0 °C
a.
b.
Outside the humidity is 53%. What is the dew point?
[a little over 20°C]
How many moles of water vapour are in the room before the humidifier is
activated?
[624.4 mol]
c.
How many moles of water vapour must be added to bring the room up to the
desired 84% humidity?
[365.1 mol]
d.
Realistically the curators would also change the temperature of the room to
maintain the desired humidity. What would you do, raise or lower the room
temperature?
[Raising the temperature increases the amount of vapour the air can hold thus the relative
humidity.]
