A gas which is collected over water becomes moistened due to water vapor, exerts its own partial pressure at the gas temperature, which is termed as its_______________?

Correct answer: A. Aqueous tension

  • A. Aqueous tension
  • B. Saturated humidity
  • C. Vapor pressure
  • D. Absolute humidity
