1.22g of a gas measured over water at 15∘C and a pressure of 775mm of mercury occupied 900mL. Calculate the volume of dry gas at NTP. Vapor pressure of water at 15∘C is 14mm.
Open in App
Solution
Pressure of dry gas = Pressure of moist gas − Aqueous tension =775−14 =761mm
Initial conditions
NTP conditions
V1=900mL
V2=?
P1=761mm
P2=760mm
T1=(273+15)=288K
T2=273K
Since, P1V1T1=P2V2T2 So, V2=P1V1T2T1P2 =761×900×273288×760 =854.2mL.
