The pressure, in mmHg, exerted by only the oxygen gas is 720.8 mmHg
<h3>Pressure of gas collected over water</h3>
The total pressure of a gas collected over water is given by P = P' + p where
- P = pressure of oxygen gas and
- p = vapour pressure of water at 25 °C = 25 mmHg
Making P' subject of the formula, we have
P' = P - p
Since the total pressure of oxygen plus water vapor is P = 745.8 mmHg, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
P' = P - p
P' = 745.8 mmHg - 25 mmHg
P' = 720.8 mmHg
So, the pressure, in mmHg, exerted by only the oxygen gas is 720.8 mmHg
