Two moles of O2 gas is collected over water at 400 K temperature in 2 litre vessel. If the pressure of dry O2 gas is 32.20 bar then find the vapour pressure of water under the same conditions.

Solution
For O2 gas collected over water, the pressure P=nRTV P=2mol×0.08206L⋅atm/mol⋅K×400K2L
P=32.824atm
Convert unit from atm to bar P=32.824atm×1.01325bar1atm
P=33.26bar
The pressure of dry O2 gas is 32.20 bar.
The vapour pressure of water =33.26bar−32.20bar=1.06bar
