Question

What would the partial pressure of water vapor be if you included this gas in the problem and it gave a total of 1.03atm?
Responses
A 0.01 atm
B 0.03 atm
C 1.03 atm

Answer 1

To calculate the partial pressure of water vapor, we need to subtract the partial pressure of the other gas from the total pressure given. Therefore, if the total pressure is 1.03 atm and we are including only water vapor as the other gas, the partial pressure of water vapor would be 1.03 atm - 1.00 atm (assuming the other gas contributes 1.00 atm) = 0.03 atm.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 0.03 atm.
