Suppose a sample of helium gas at 45.0 °C sealed in a flask at a pressure of 5.63 atm was found to be contaminated by water. The gas was filtered through a cartridge containing a desiccant to remove the water and the dried gas was returned to the same flask with the temperature brought down to 25.0 °C. What was the mole fraction of water in the contaminated sample if the pressure of the dried gas at 25.0 °C was 5.23 atm?

Suppose a sample of helium gas at 45.0 °C sealed in a flask at a pressure of 5.63 atm was
found to be contaminated by water. The gas was filtered through a cartridge containing
a desiccant to remove the water and the dried gas was returned to the same flask with
the temperature brought down to 25.0 °C. What was the mole fraction of water in the
contaminated sample if the pressure of the dried gas at 25.0 °C was 5.23 atm?
