A mixture of H2O ,CO2​ and N2​ are trapped in a glass apparatus with a volume of 0.731 mL. The pressure of total mixture was 1.74mm of Hg at 23°C. The sample was transferred to a bulb in contact with dry ice(-75°C) so that H2O(v) are frozen out. When the sample returned to the normal value of temperature, the pressure was 1.32mm of Hg. The sample was then transferred to bulb in contact with liquid N2(75°C) to freeze out CO2​. In the measured volume, the pressure was 0.53mm of Hg at original temperature. Mole of N2​ in mixture are 2.1×10-y.
