The pressure exerted by saturated water vapour is called aqueous tension. What correction term will you apply to the total pressure to obtain a pressure of dry gas?
The pressure exerted by saturated water vapour is called aqueous tension. What correction term will you apply to the total pressure to obtain a pressure of dry gas?

The total pressure of the gas is Pmoist gas = Pdry gas

By applying the correction term, we have:

Pdry gas = Pmoist gas – Aqueous tension

Therefore, the correction term applied to the total pressure of the gas to get the pressure of dry gas is equal to the difference of P moist gas and aqueous tension.
