Answer:

Pressure of dry gas = 722.6 mmHg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Measured pressure = 745 mmHg

Water vapor pressure at 24.0 °C = 22.4 mmHg

Pressure of dry gas =?

The pressure of dry gas can be obtained as follow:

Measured pressure = pressure on dry gas + water vapor pressure

745 = pressure of dry gas + 22.4

Collect like terms

Pressure of dry gas = 745 – 22.4

Pressure of dry gas = 722.6 mmHg
