11. What is the enthalpy change of the mixture if the enthalpy change of air is 10 J, enthalpy change of water vapor is 15 J, and the humidity is 40%?
a) 10 J
b) 12 J
c) 14 J
d) 16 J

Answer: d
Clarification: ∆H = ∆Hair + ∆Hwater(h) = 10 + 15*0.4 = 16 J.

12. What is the enthalpy change of 15^oC system if the heat capacity of air at 20^oC is 10 J/^oC and heat capacity of water vapor at 20^oC is 20 J/^oC, enthalpy of vaporization is 20 J, and the humidity is 50%?
a) 50 J
b) 60 J
c) 80 J
d) 110 J

Answer: d
Clarification: ∆H = 10(20 – 15) + 0.5*[20(20 – 15) + 20] = 50 + 60 = 110 J.

13. What is the enthalpy change of 10^oC system if the heat capacity of air at 20^oC is 5 J/^oC and heat capacity of water vapor at 20^oC is 15 J/^oC, enthalpy of vaporization is 10 J, and the humidity is 40%?
a) 58 J
b) 84 J
c) 114 J
d) 135 J

Answer: c
Clarification: ∆H = 5(20 – 10) + 0.4*[15(20 – 10) + 10] = 50 + 64 = 114 J.

14. What is the enthalpy change of 20^oC system if the heat capacity of air at 25^oC is 5 J/^oC and heat capacity of water vapor at 25^oC is 10 J/^oC, enthalpy of vaporization is 10 J, and the humidity is 20%?
a) 25 J
b) 37 J
c) 44 J
d) 51 J

Answer: b
Clarification: ∆H = 5(25 – 20) + 0.2*[10(25 – 20) + 10] = 25 + 12 = 37 J.

15. What is the enthalpy change of 30^oC system if the heat capacity of air at 38^oC is 5 J/^oC and heat capacity of water vapor at 38^oC is 10 J/^oC, enthalpy of vaporization is 10 J, and the humidity is 60%?
a) 14 J
