Problem

A narrow tube of uniform base, closed at one end has some air entrapped by a small quantity of water. If the pressure of the atmosphere is 760 mm of Hg and vapour pressure of H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} at 12∘C12^\circ\text{C} and 35∘C35^\circ\text{C} are 10.5 mm Hg and 42 mm Hg respectively and the length of the air column is 10 cm at 12∘C12^\circ\text{C}, what will be its length at 35∘C35^\circ\text{C}?
