Answer

$0.36334\text{ psia}$

Work Step by Step

The saturation temperature of water at $70^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ is $$ P_{\text {sat }@ 70^\circ \text{F}}=0.36334\ \mathrm{psia} $$ Since the mole fraction of the air in the liquid water is essentially zero, $$ P_{v, \max }=1 \times P_{\text {sat }@ 70^\circ \text{F}}=0.36334 \text { psia } $$
