The ideal gas law exhibits the relationship between the pressure and the volume of the gas. The pressure of the pure oxygen in the sample will be 736.2 torrs.
What is Dalton's law?
According to dalton's law, the sum of the partial pressure of the individual gases gives the total pressure exerted in the system. It is given as,
[tex]\rm P_{T} = P_{1} + P_{2} + P_{3} ........+P_{n}[/tex]
In the sample, the mixture of oxygen and gaseous water is present so, the pressure of oxygen is calculated as:
Given,
The total pressure of the mixture = 760 torr
The pressure of the gaseous water (steam) = 23.8 torr
Substituting values in the equation:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm 760 \; torr &= \rm P_{O_{2}} + 23.8 \; torr\\\\&= 760 - 23. 8\\\\&= 736.2 \;\rm torr\end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, the pressure of the pure oxygen in the mixture is 736.2 torr.
