At 270C temperature 20 gm. H2, 220 gm CO2 and 140 gm N2 are filled in a vessel having volume 2 litre. Find the total pressure in bar unit which gas is removed from the vessel so that pressure can be reduced by 50%.

Solution
No. of moles of H2=202=10 moles
No. of moles of CO2=22044=5 moles
No. of moles of N2=14028=5 moles
So, according to Dalton's law of partial pressure,
pressure ∝ mole fraction of H2
So, as mole fraction is 0.5, when hydrogen is removed half of the pressure is removed.
