The water vapours are generally present in a atmosphere, some times isolated and sometimes mixed with other gases. in such a situation the pressure exerted by each component of mixture, will be called ______________________?
Correct answer: D. Partial pressure
- A. All are correct
- B. Saturation pressure
- C. Vapour pressure
- D. Partial pressure
Explanation
Partial pressure is the pressure exerted by one component of a gas mixture, such as water vapour in the atmosphere. Vapour pressure specifically refers to the pressure exerted by water vapour, but the wording about each component makes partial pressure the best answer.
