OpenStudy (zale101):

Have you heard of Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... but I am not really sure what to do!

OpenStudy (zale101):

take a look at the link i gave u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahh.. but im honestly not sure where to start

OpenStudy (zale101):

Use P total = P atm = P gas + P water to calculate the partial pressure of the butane gas collected.

OpenStudy (zale101):

What part u don't get @edawg777

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure where I get the p butane, p atm or p h20 from

OpenStudy (zale101):

Use Patm = Pgas + PH2O U already know that Patm = 0.9733atm and PH2O = partial pressure of water vapor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhh!

OpenStudy (zale101):

U get it now :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! thank you so much!!

OpenStudy (zale101):

Your Welcome! Good Luck!
