    Answer : The vapor pressure of the dry oxygen gas is, 736.2 torr

    Explanation : Given,

    Volume of sample of oxygen = 500 mL

    Vapor pressure of oxygen + water = 760 torr

    Vapor pressure of water = 23.8 torr

    Now we have to determine the vapor pressure of the dry oxygen gas.

    Vapor pressure of the dry oxygen gas = Vapor pressure of (oxygen + water) - Vapor pressure of water

    Vapor pressure of the dry oxygen gas = 760 torr - 23.8 torr

    Vapor pressure of the dry oxygen gas = 736.2 torr

    Thus, the vapor pressure of the dry oxygen gas is, 736.2 torr
