A sample of oxygen is collected in a 175 mL container over water at 15 degrees C, and the barometer reads 752.0 torr. What volume would the dry gas occupy at 770.0 torr?

Determine the water vapor pressure at 15C. Subtract that from the 752 torr reading of O2 + H2O to get O2-only or dry O2 pressure. (That's the Dalton's law part.) Assume the temperature stays the same (15C). Then you can use Boyle's law (P1*V1=P2*V2) to get the dry O2 volume at 770 torr.
