Hey everyone, we're asked to determine the vapor pressure of water and ammonia at their normal boiling points. Now we know that the normal boiling point is the boiling point at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to one atmospheric pressure. So this is going to be the answer for both water and ammonia. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
