a) 3.25kPa×1atm101.325kPa=0.0320atm and we know 1atm = 760torr at 250 
C vapor pressure of wateris 23.76torr = 23.76torr*1atm/760 torr = 0.0312atm 
H2O= (0.0320 - 0.0312) atm =0.0008atm 
PV = nRT 
V=6.0m×5.3m×3.2m, convert into L 1m3= 1000L 
n = mass(g) / molar mass(g/mol) 
calculatethe mass(g), for other two similarly
