Answer:

0.0156 atm

Explanation:

Let the partial pressure of water vapor be P_w.

Given:

Total pressure of air sample is, P_T=1.00\ atm

Partial pressure of nitrogen is, P_n=0.79\ atm

Partial pressure of oxygen is, P_o=0.19\ atm

Partial pressure of all other gases is, P_{other}=0.0044\ atm

From Dalton's law of partial pressure, we know that, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to sum of partial pressure of each individual gas.

So, total pressure of air sample is equal to the sum of partial pressure of nitrogen, oxygen, other gases and water vapor.

Therefore, framing in equation form, we have:

P_n+P_o+P_{other}+P_w=P_T

Plug in the given values and solve for P_w. This gives,

0.79+0.19+0.0044+P_w=1.00\\\\0.9844+P_w=1.00\\\\P_w=1.00-0.9844\\\\P_w=0.0156\ atm

Therefore, the partial pressure of water vapor in an air sample is 0.0156 atm.

kherson [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

2Al(s) + 3 2 O2(g) → Al2O3(s) And given the stoichiometry ...and EXCESS dioxygen gas...we would get 6.25⋅ mol of alumina. the which represents a mass... ...6.25 ⋅ mol ×101.96 ⋅ g ⋅ mol−1 molar mass of alumina ≡ 637.25 ⋅ g.
