Asample of nitrogen gas is collected over water at a temperature of 23.0 c. what is the pressure of the nitrogen gas if atmospheric pressure is 785 mm hg

We first consider the gases that will be present in that sample.
First, there will be nitrogen, as stated. Second, there will also be water in the form of water vapor. For this, we need the vapor pressure of water at 23.0 °C, which is about 21.0 mmHg. Now, the sum of the vapor pressures of the gases will be equivalent to the total pressure. So the pressure of nitrogen gas is:
785 - 21
= 764 mmHg

Remember that rust prevented by placing a sacrificial electrode in electrical contact with the iron. the sacrificial electrode must be composed of a metal that  oxidizes  more easily than iron (that is, it must be below iron in table 18.1).
