    The total pressure of a mixture of gases equals the sum of the partial pressures of the indiviudal gases in the sample.

    So, combined hydrogen-water vapor pressure = partial pressure of H2 + partial pressure of water

    Convert 1 atm to kPa: 1 atm = 101.325 kPa

    => 101.325 kPa = Partial pressure of H2 + 2.5 kPa

    => Partial pressure of H2 = 101.325 kPa - 2.5 kPa = 98.825 kPa

    Answer: 98.8 kPa
