Calculate the partial pressure of oxygen in a container that was collected over

Question

Calculate the partial pressure of oxygen in a container that was collected over water. The atmospheric pressure is 753.0mmHg, the partial pressure of water vapor in the container is 16.0mmHg and the hydro-static pressure exerted by the water is 20.1mmHg. Calculate the partial pressure of oxygen in a container that was collected over water. The atmospheric pressure is 753.0mmHg, the partial pressure of water vapor in the container is 16.0mmHg and the hydro-static pressure exerted by the water is 20.1mmHg.

Explanation / Answer

total atmospheric pressure = partial pressure of oxygen+ pressure of water vapor + hydro-static pressure

753 = partial pressure of oxygen + 16.0 + 20.1

partial pressure of oxygen = 716.9 mmHg
