Question
Chapter 15.6, Problem 3A
Summary Introduction
The amount of water (grams) that gets condensed when the temperature of the air is lowered to 5°C and -10°C.
Introduction:
The relative humidity is used to report the amount of water vapor present in the air. It is calculated by taking the ratio of actual water-vapor content (mixing ratio) of air and saturation mixing ratio. The given value is then converted to percentage by multiplying it by 100.

8. According to drinking water regulations, the maximum allowable concentration of Pb2+
ions in water is 0.045 ppm. Is this guideline exceeded if an underground water supply is at
equilibrium with the mineral anglesite, PbSO4 (Ksp = 1.6 x 10-8)?
