The air over an unknown liquid is saturated with the vapor of that liquid at 23 °C and a total pressure of 0.976 atm. Suppose that a sample of 6.32 L of the saturated air is collected and the vapor of the unknown liquid is removed from that sample by cooling and condensation. The pure air remaining occuples a volume of 3.71 L at -28 °C and 1.00 atm. Calculate the vapor pressure of the unknown liquid at 23 °C. Submit Answer 5 question attempts remaining atm
