Question

A 40 mL of a mixture of H2 and O2 was placed in a gas burette at 18oC and 1 atm pressure. A spark was applied so that the formation of water was complete. The remaining pure gas had a volume of 10 mL at 18oC and 1 atm P. If the remaining gas was H2, what was the initial mole % of O2 in the mixture?

Solution

H2+(12)O2H2O(l)
Volume before reaction a b 0
Volume after reaction a-2b 0 2b
Since the reaction is studied at constant P and T
a+b=40;a2b=10
a=30mLb=10mL
Mole % of O2= volume % of O2
=10(30+10)×100=25%
