How can you calculate the pressure of dry gas when it is collected over water?
Options
- ABy subtracting the total pressure from the aqueous tension
- BBy adding the vapour pressure of water to the total pressure
- CBy subtracting the aqueous tension from the total pressure
- DBy multiplying the total pressure by the vapour pressure of water
Correct answer
C. By subtracting the aqueous tension from the total pressure
Step-by-step solution
The pressure of dry gas is calculated by subtracting the aqueous tension from the total pressure of the moist gas.
