Solution

The correct option is C 740 mm
Some gases are collected over water in the laboratory.

During collection, the gas gathers water vapours and becomes moist.

The partial pressure exerted by the water vapours is called the aqueous tension.

Pressure of dry gas = pressure of moist gas - aqueous tension

=75010=740mm

Therefore, the option is C.
