Basically im confuzzled on how to solve problems that involve Wet Gases and then turning them into dry gases and then asnwering questions about them..
For example they give you:
a 1.6 sample of KClO3 is heated and reacts in thsi way
they give you a reaction
Then they say what is the volume of oxygen collected over water at 26C and 740Torr.....
Like how would u go about doing that...No i am not looking for the answer, simply how to solve it....I kidna wasn't paying attention in class lol

When you collect a sample of a gas over water, the gas that you collect will contain (in this case) not only oxygen, but also some water vapor. So, the pressure in the container is made up of the pressure of the oxygen AND the very small pressure of the water vapor.
You should be able to find a table of the vapor pressure of water at various temperatures. The actual pressure of the oxygen will be the total pressure minus the vapor pressure of the water at that temperature.
Hope this helps a little bit.
