The sample of oxygen gas was collected through water displacement. So, the gas collected will be a mixture of oxygen and water vapor.
Given that the total pressure of the mixture of gases containing oxygen and water vapor = 749 Torr
Vapor pressure of pure water at =25.81mmHg
=
According to Dalton's law of partial pressures,
Total pressure = Partial pressure of Oxygen gas + Partial pressure of water
749 Torr = Partial pressure of Oxygen gas + 25.81 Torr
Partial pressure of Oxygen gas = 749 Torr - 25.81 Torr = 723.19 Torr
Therefore the partial pressure of Oxygen gas in the mixture collected will be 723.19 Torr
