Explanation / Answer

The total pressure of jar is : Ptotal = 760 mmHg
and partial pressure of He: PHe = 526 mmHg.

Now we can calculate the partial pressure of H2O:

Ptoal = PH20 + PHe
pH20 = Ptotal - PHe
   = 760 mmHg - 526 mmHg.
   = 234 mmHg.
  
Now we need to estimate the Temperature at partial pressure 234 mmHg.

Therefore, we can use clausius clapeyron equation:

ln(P1/P2) = (Hvap / R) x (1/T2 - 1/T1)

We have : P1 = 234 mmHg     :    P2 = 760 mmHg
          T1 = 100 oC = 373.15K      T2 = ?
          Hvap = 40.68 kJ/mole = 40680 J/mole
          R = 8.314 J/molK
      
plugging all the above values into the clausius clapeyron equation:

ln(760 mmHg/234 mmHg) = (40680 J/mol /8.314 J/molK) (1/T2 - 1/373.15)
1.178 = 4893 (1/T2 - 1/373.15)
0.00024 = (1/T2 - 1/373.15)
(1/T2) = 0.00292
T2 = 342.47K = 69.33 oC

Therefore, the remperature of the water = 69.33 oC = 69.3 oC (three significant figures)
