A small amount of water and its saturated vapour are enclosed in a vessel at a temperature t = 100^@C . How much (in per cent) will the mass of the saturated vapour increase if the temperature of the system goes up by Delta T = 1.5 K ? Assume that the vapour is an ideal gas and the specific volume of water is negligible as compared to that vapour.
