what is the vapor pressure of water if the total vapor pressure is 1.5 atm and the pressure of oxygen is 0.2 atm?

Sagot :

Since the total pressure of each gas is the sum of the partial pressures of all the individual gases, the vapor pressure of oxygen is  1.3 atm.

From Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure is the sum of the individual partial pressures of the gases;

PT = PA + PB + PC + --------

Given that;

Vapor pressure of oxygen = 0.2 atm

Total pressure = 1.5 atm

Vapor pressure of oxygen = ?

Partial pressure of oxygen =  1.5 atm - 0.2 atm = 1.3 atm

The vapor pressure of oxygen is  1.3 atm.
