Here we have to choose the partial pressure exerted by the air in the given sample among the given options.
The partial pressure of the air in the sample is C. 96.82 kPa.
As per the Dalton's law of partial pressure the total pressure of the gas in the pool (P) is equivalent to the summation of the partial pressure of water vapor and air pressure.
Mathematically we may write:
Now the
Or, P_{Air}[/tex] = (100.18 - 3.36) kilopascals
Or, P_{Air}[/tex] = 96.82 Kilopascals.
Thus the partial pressure of the air in the sample is C. 96.82 kPa.
