Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply. Sorry for not making it clear. I meant water vapour has a SVP of 6.28kPa at 37 deg C. When calculating the partial pressure of a particular gas, say Oxygen, in the atmosphere which is saturated with water vapour, you minus 6.28kPa from the normal atmospheric...

Hi all, new here, so don't know if this is the right place. All the other places in the forum seemed like advanced stuff! Anyway, i don't understand why when calculating the partial pressure of a gas in SVP conditions, you subtract 6.28kPa from the normal atomospheric pressure of 101.1kPa...
