The partial pressure of
Explanation:
The sum of all partial pressures within a closed system will always equal the total pressure.
In this system (the sealed balloon), there are only two components - the
Note that in order to do this calculation, you will need to know the vapour pressure of water at 29 degrees (0.039).
