Question

A vessel has nitrogen gas and water vapour in equilibrium with liquid water at a total pressure of 1 atm. The partial pressure of water vapours is 0.3 atm. The volume of this vessel is reduced to one-third of the original volume, at the same temperature, then find total pressure in atm of the system. (Neglect volume occupied by liquid water)

Solution

Let us consider the problem :

PN2+PH2O=1atm(Since,PH2O=0.3atmandPN2=0.7atmin1vessel).

Therefore,
New pressure of N2 in another vessel may be calculated as :

P1V1=P2V2

Implies that :
0.7×V1=P2×V13atm

Since,
PN2=2.1atm

Implies that :

PH2O=0.3atm

PT=2.4atm

PH2O remains constant at constant temperature.
