1500mL flask contains 400mgCO2 and 60mgH2 at 100∘C. (a) What is the total pressure in the flask? (b) If the mixture is permitted to react to form water vapour of 100∘C, 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=0.255atm Partial pressure of H2=0.03×0.0821×3731.5=0.612atm Total pressure =0.255+0.612=0.867atm (b) 2H2+O2⟶2H2O Initial 0.030.01250 After reaction 0.00500.025 Partial pressure of H2=0.005×0.0821×3731.5=0.102atm Partial pressure of H2O=0.025×0.0821×3731.5=0.51atm
