Consider the liquidvapor equilibrium of H 2 O at 20 C in which N 2 is added

Question:

Consider the liquid–vapor equilibrium of H2O at 20° C in which N2 is added to the gas phase to obtain a total pressure of 1 atm. Assuming that the N2 is both inert and insoluble in the liquid H2O, how does the N2 affect the equilibrium pressure (or partial pressure) of the H2O vapor? To answer this, compute the partial pressure of the H2O vapor in the H2O(g)–N2 mixture. The total pressure is fixed at 1 atm.
