At a temperature of 30 deg C, the vapour pressure of water H2O is about 32 mm Hg. Therefore at a total pressure f 734 mm Hg, the partial pressure of the Hydrogen gas collected is:

P Hydrogen = 734 mm Hg – 32 mm Hg = 702 mm Hg

Answer: 702.2 mmHg

Explanation: According to Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure is the sum of partial pressures of individual components.

[tex]P=pH_2O+pH_2[/tex]

P=total pressure

[tex]pH_2O[/tex]= partial pressure of water

[tex]pH_2[/tex] = partial pressure of hydrogen

partial pressure of [tex]H_2O[/tex] at 30°C is 31.8 mmHg

734 mmHg = 31.8 mmHg + [tex]pH_2[/tex]

[tex]pH_2[/tex] = 702.2 mmHg
