What Is The Partial Pressure Of Hydrogen In This Experiment?
May 12th, 2009
Well i have the total pressure of gases above water ( hydrogen and water vapor) which is 1.001 atm. I have the Partial pressure of water vapor which is 19.8 mm. How do i calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen? Thanks.

I’m assuming the H2O pressure is 19.8 mmHg.
Divide 19.8 mmHg by 760 in order to convert it to atm and then subtract from the total pressure.
19.8 / 760 = 0.026 atm
1.001 - 0.026 = 0.975 atm
