Question

1500 mL flask contains 400 mg CO2 and 60 mg H2 at 100C.
(a) What is the total pressure in the flask?
(b) If the mixture is permitted to react to form water vapour of 100C, what will be left and what will be their partial pressures?

Solution

(a) No. of moles of O2=4001000×32=0.0125
No. of moles of H2=601000×2=0.03
Partial pressure of O2=0.0125×0.0821×3731.5=0.255 atm
Partial pressure of H2=0.03×0.0821×3731.5=0.612 atm
Total pressure =0.255+0.612=0.867 atm
(b) 2H2+O22H2O
Initial 0.03 0.0125 0
After reaction 0.005 0 0.025
Partial pressure of H2=0.005×0.0821×3731.5=0.102 atm
Partial pressure of H2O=0.025×0.0821×3731.5=0.51 atm
