If the mixing ratio of a parcel of air is 6 grams per kilogram and the relative humidity is 25 percent, the saturation mixing ratio is grams per kilogram.

-

24 grams per kilogram.

Explanation: -

We know that

The mixing ratio = actual (measured) mass of water vapor (in parcel) in grams / mass of dry (non water vapor) air (in parcel) in kilogram

The saturation mixing ratio = mass of water vapor required for saturation (in parcel) in grams/ mass of dry (non water vapor) air (in parcel) in kilograms

Relative humidity = actual (measured) water vapor content/ maximum possible water vapor amount (saturation)

Thus saturation mixing ratio = Mixing ratio / relative humidity

= 6 / (25/100)

= 24

water   molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.
