    12.3kPa

    Explanation:

    Using Dalton's law which states: in a mixture of gases the total pressure is equal to the sum of the pressures of all gases present. In this question,

    Total Pressure = Pressure of Hydrogen + Pressure of water vapor

    Pressure of Hydrogen = 122.4kPa

    Total Pressure 134.7kPa.

    Pressure of water vapor = Total pressure - Pressure of Hydrogen =

    134.7kPa - 122.4kPa = 12.3kPa.

    Vapor pressure of water at certain temperatures is is usually available in vapor pressure table. In this question temperature here is 323 K.

    Convert 323 K to celsius (using the formula Celsius = K - 273) will give us 323 k - 273 = 50 degrees celsius. Checking the vapor pressure of water at 50 degrees celsius will show you 12.34kPa
