Go back and look, I said it applies to gaseous water.
And you must agree because you said.

The term vapor applies to both gaseous and liquid substances
dispersed in air. Since you keep wanting to limit the
definition of vapor, let's agree to be precise and
ignore the term vapor. I said Dalton's law applies to
gaseous water in air.
And when you apply Dalton's law to water air mixtures,
the density and buoyancy values come out correctly.
I know you have trouble reading the NIST article I sent you,
So I'll summarize it:
Based on the ideal gas law and Dalton's law of partial pressure
NIST scientists derived a formula for the density of air-water
mixture. They need this to be VERY PRECISE in order to account
for buoyancy when they and other standards labs around the
world test the Kilogram standards.
Having the formula they then compared with measurements
in the lab. The measurements match. (end of article)
So since you agree with me that
Dalton's law will fail if the substance is a liquid,
We then add that
the NIST measurements succeed with a high precision
and we conclude
therefore the substance (water) MUST be a gas.
This is basic logic. Dates back to Aristotle.
So dear readers, this is just one more proof that
JM's theory of water is BOGUS
(as the Car Talk guys would say)

And Dear readers, note the reaction by JM.
JM clings to a very limited definition of vapor.
He thinks his definition is the one used in Physics.
Unfortunately, he is again wrong.
He is bitter because he has no college degree,
especially not a degree in physics.
JM's goal is to be the top poster in this group.
He thinks he is "creating content" for the internet.
his lack of skills in scientific discussions and
his goal combine to make him post the same thing
over and over. He has even created Claudius Denk,
another account which he uses to make it
appear someone else agrees with him.
Like I always say,
You are not crazy if you talk to yourself.
It is when you answer yourself that you should worry!
Enjoy!
