    d. 0.222 g

    Explanation:

    Given parameters:

    volume of water = 71.9mL = 0.0719L

    pressure = 1053.8kPa = 10.4atm

    temperature = 738K

    Unknown:

    mass of water = ?

    Solution:

    To find the mass of water, we need to obtain the number of moles from the given parameters.

    This can be done using the ideal gas law;

    PV = nRT

    where P is the pressure

    V is the volume

    n is the number of moles

    R is the gas constant

    T is the temperature

    Input the parameters to find n;

    10.4 x 0.0719 = n x 0.082 x 738

    n = 0.012moles

    Mass of water vapor = number of moles x molar mass

    molar mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

    Mass of water vapor = 0.012 x 18 = 0.22g
