Hello!

Every substance in a liquid state is in dynamic equilibrium with its own vapor phase. At equilibrium the vapors have certain pressure. If you lower that pressure, more liquid is going to go to a gaseous state (vapour). On the other hand, if you increase the pressure, vapor is gong to condense back to liquid.

You have been given the vapor pressure of water at 22 degrees. This is the equilibrium pressure. Since you know the volume of the ...
