Answer:
[tex]711\ \text{mmHg}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]P_{total}[/tex] = Total pressure = 751 mmHg
[tex]P_{water}[/tex] = Vapor pressure = 40 mmHg
[tex]P_{gas}[/tex] = Pressure of gas
The total pressure in a system is given by Dalton's law
[tex]P_{total}=P_{gas}+P_{water}\\\Rightarrow P_{gas}=P_{total}-P_{water}\\\Rightarrow P_{gas}=751-40\\\Rightarrow P_{gas}=711\ \text{mmHg}[/tex]
The partial pressure of the hydrogen is [tex]711\ \text{mmHg}[/tex]
