Question

. Calculate the volume of dry air at S.T.P. that occupies
28 cm at 14°C and 750 mm Hg pressure when saturated
with water vapour. The vapour pressure of water at 14°C
is 12 mm Hg.​

Here, P

1

=750−12=738mm,

V

,

T

1

=14+273=287K,

P

=760mm,

T

=273K

Then, V

=

287×760

738×28×273

=25.9cm
