Carbon dioxide is collected over water at a temperature of 35 °C. The pressure of water vapor at 35 ?C is 42.2 torr. The pressure of the collected gas (water vapor + carbon dioxide) has a pressure of 0.789 atm, what is the pressure of the carbon dioxide in atmospheres (atm)?
pressure of dry gas = pressure of moist gas - pressure of water vapor , 42.2 torr x1atm\760torr =0.055526atm
=0.789 - 0.055526= 0.733474 atm
