Question

A certain quantity of a gas occupies 100 mL when collected over water at 15C and 750 mm pressure. It occupied 91.9 mL in dry state at NTP. Find the aqueous vapour pressure at 15C.

Open in App
Solution

Let the aqueous vapour pressure be p mm.

Initial conditions :

P1 (dry gas) =(750p)mm

V1=100 mL
T1=15+273=288 K

NTP conditions :

P2=760 mm

V2=91.9 mL

T2=293 K

Applying gas equation we get,

(750p)×100288=760×91.9293

750p=760×91.9×288100×293=686.5 mm

p=750686.5=63.5 mm.
