6.70 a.The vapor pressure of pure water at 25◦C is equal to
23.756 torr if the total pressure on the liquid is just that
due to the vapor. Calculate the vapor pressure of water
at 25◦C if enough oxygen gas is added to the vapor to
give a total pressure of 1.000 atm. Neglect any oxygen
dissolved in the water.
b.Calculate the mole fraction of dissolved oxygen in the
water under the conditions of part a. The Henry’s law
constant is in Example 6.9. Calculate the effect of this
dissolved oxygen on the vapor pressure.
c.Repeat parts a and b with 100.00 atm total pressure
instead of 1.000 atm.
