I assume you're talking about having a relative humidity of 100%, correct?

Relative humidity is current amount of water vapor in the air divided by the maximum possible amount of water vapor in the air at that temperature and air pressure. If you have 100% relative humidity, water cannot evaporate.

The unfortunate result of this is that sweating in warm, high humidity air (90% plus) is counterproductive - your body can do better keeping cool with the water inside of you than it can with you covered in water that will maintain the atmospheric temperature for a while even if you find somewhere cooler to recover.

RH is NOT the water content of the air - if that were so, everything in the South American rainforest would have drowned long since.

When does a city experience 100 percent humidity?

A city can experience 100 percent humidity when the air is holding the maximum amount of moisture it can at a given temperature, leading to saturated air. This typically happens during rain or when the temperature drops and the air cannot hold all the moisture it contains.

The solubility of NaNO3 at 20 C is 82 g per 100 grams of water What is the mass percent of a saturated solution of NaNO3?

The mass percent of a saturated solution of NaNO3 at 20°C can be calculated by dividing the mass of NaNO3 in the saturated solution (82 g) by the total mass of the solution (82 g NaNO3 + 100 g water) and then multiplying by 100%. This results in a mass percent of 82/182 * 100% ≈ 45.1%.


What happens to a meteoroid when it strikes the earths atmosphere?

When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it starts to burn up due to friction with the air, creating a bright streak of light known as a meteor. Most meteoroids completely disintegrate before reaching the Earth's surface, resulting in what is commonly referred to as a shooting star.

What type of air has a realative humidity of 100 percent?

That would be "dewpoint"...When the air temperature falls to the dewpoint (or dewpoint rises to the air temperature), then you have 100% relative humidity.

What is the percent by weight of NaCl in a saturated solution of sodium chloride at 50 degree Celsius?

The percent by weight of NaCl in a saturated solution at 50 degrees Celsius is approximately 26.3%. This means that in every 100 grams of the solution, 26.3 grams is NaCl.
