Moist air is treated as an ideal gas mixture of water vapour and dry air (molecular weight of air$= 28.84$ and molecular weight of water $=18$). At a location, the total pressure is $100$ kPa, the temperature is $30^{\circ}$ C and the relative humidity is $55\%$. Given that the saturation pressure of water at $30^{\circ} C$ is $4246$ Pa, the mass of water vapour per kg of dry air is _________ grams.
