Solve the following:

What would be the absolute humidity of air if 1 cu.m. air contains 4.08 gms of vapour at 0°C temperature?

Absolute humidity is defined as “the amount of water vapour in 1 cu.m. of air.”


Given, water vapour= 4.08 gms


Volume of air= 1 cu.m.


Thus, absolute humidity =


= 4.08 gm/m3
