(a)
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Table 9.2
The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is defined as the force exerted by the molecules of that gas per unit area if it alone occupies the entire volume of the container in which the mixture is kept. It depends upon the mole fraction of the gas. The partial pressure of water vapor at different temperatures is standardized in table 9.2.

(c)
Interpretation:
The total pressure of the gas collected is to be determined.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Dalton’s law of partial pressure states that in a mixture, the total pressure exerted by the mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures exerted by each individual gas.
The partial pressure of water vapor is
