a gas is collected over water at a certain temperature. the total pressure is 760 torr. the vapor pressure of water at this temperature is 17 torr. the partial pressure of the gas collected is

Respuesta :

A gas is collected over water at a certain temperature, then the partial pressure of gas is calculated to be = 741 torr

How is vapor pressure related to partial pressure?

The term "water vapor pressure" refers to the amount of water vapor present in any gas combination that is in equilibrium with either solid or liquid water. When the vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure, water begins to boil.

Given total pressure is 760 torr

Vapor pressure of water = 17 torr

As we know that, partial pressure of gas = total pressure - vapor pressure of water

= 760 - 17

Partial pressure of gas = 741 torr.
