    Pressure exerted by carbon dioxide is 112.28 Kpa.

    Explanation:

    data given:

    volume of gas = 1 litre

    temperature of water = 100 degrees OR 373.15 k

    pressure = 200 kpa

    pressure exerted by carbon dioxide = ?

    The vapour pressure of water would give the partial pressure of water as carbon dioxide gas is collected from water. At a temperature of 100 degrees the vapour pressure of water is 87.72 kpa which is now the partial pressure of water.

    Applying Dalton's law of pressure

    Ptotal = P co2 + Pwater

    pco2 = Ptotal - Pwater

    200 - 87.72 kpa

    Pco2 = 112.28 Kpa is the pressure on carbon dioxide.

    This is the pressure exerted by carbon dioxide in the container.
