Answer: 736.2 torr
Explanation: According to Dalton's law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of individual pressures exerted by the constituent gases.
[tex]p_{total}=p_A+p_B[/tex]
Thus [tex]p_{total}=p_{H_2O}+p_{H_2}[/tex]
Given: [tex]p_{total}=760 torr[/tex]
[tex]p_{H_2O}=23.8torr[/tex]
[tex]p_{H_2}= ?torr[/tex]
Thus [tex]760torr=23.8torr+p_{H_2}[/tex]
[tex]p_{H_2}=736.2torr[/tex]
Thus pressure exerted by the hydrogen gas alone is 736.2 torr.
