Answer:
Partial pressure of water vapor = 0.0056 atm
Explanation:
Given that
Total pressure = 1 atm
Partial pressure of nitrogen = 0.79 atm
Partial pressure of oxygen = 0.2 atm
Partial pressure of other gases = 0.0044 atm
We know that
Total pressure = Sum of partial pressure of all gases.
Total pressure= Partial pressure of nitrogen+ Partial pressure of oxygen+ Partial pressure of other gases +Partial pressure of water vapor
So now by putting the values
1 = 0.79 + 0.2 +0.0044 + Partial pressure of water vapor
Partial pressure of water vapor = 0.0056 atm
The partial pressure of water vapor is 0.0056 atm.
This is defined as the force which a gas exerts.
Total pressure = 1 atm
Partial pressure of nitrogen = 0.79 atm
Partial pressure of oxygen = 0.2 atm
Partial pressure of other gases = 0.0044 atm
Total pressure = Sum of partial pressure of all gases.
Total pressure = Partial pressure of nitrogen+ Partial pressure of oxygen+ Partial pressure of other gases +Partial pressure of water vapor
1 = 0.79 + 0.2 +0.0044 + Partial pressure of water vapor
Partial pressure of water vapor = 1 - 0.9944
= 0.0056 atm.
