Measurement of the amount of dry gas collected over water from volume of moist gas is based on the___________________?

Correct answer: B. Dalton's law of partial pressures

  • A. Charle's law
  • B. Dalton's law of partial pressures
  • C. Avogadro's hypothesis
  • D. Boyle's law

Explanation

Gas collected over water is a moist mixture, so its total pressure equals the sum of the dry-gas and water-vapor partial pressures. Subtracting water-vapor pressure to obtain dry-gas pressure is an application of Dalton’s law.
