Question

A mixture of water and water vapor is present in a closed vessel at 20 degrees Celsius. the total pressure of the system is 755.0 mmHg. Partial pressure of water vapor at 20 degrees Celsius equals 17.5 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of H2

Answer 1

Answer:

737.5 mmHg

Explanation:

Ptotal=PH2O+PH2

P is the pressure and since we have Ptotal and PH2O, we can solve for PH2

755=17.5+x

755-17.5=x

x=737.5
