Alicia Arroyo · Answer 1

Atmospheric pressure = 101.325 kPa

vapor pressure of water at 50°C = 12.332 kPa

pressure of N₂ = (Atmospheric pressure) - (vapor pressure of water at 50 oC)

pressure of N₂ = (101.325 kPa) - (12.332 kPa)

pressure of N₂ = 88.993 kPa

Therefore, the pressure of the N₂ collected if the temperature was 50 degrees celcius is 88.993 kPa
