Answer #1

Total pressure of wet air = 775mmHg

The pressure of air and water vapor = 775mmHg

P air + P H2O                                     = 775 mmmHg

water vapor pressure at 150C ( P H2o)       = 12.8 mmHg

P air + P H2O                                     = 775 mmmHg

The partial pressure of dry air    Pair     = 775-PH2o

                                                               = 775-12.8

                                                                = 762.2 mmHg

The partial pressure of water vapor at 150C   = 12.8mmHg

The partial pressure of dry air                          = 762.2mmHg
