A container is filled with mathrm(H)_(2) , and mathrm(H)_(2) mathrm(O) . Calculate the partial pressure of mathrm(H)_(2) when the pressure of water is 17torr. The tot pressure of the gases is 750 torr. 42.86torr 733torr 767.5torr

# ExplanationTo calculate the partial pressure of in the container, we can use Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures. This law states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted by the mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of individual gases.Let be the partial pressure of hydrogen ( ) and be the partial pressure of water ( ). According to the problem, torr and the total pressure torr.Using Dalton's Law, we have: We can solve for by subtracting from : # Answer733torr
