Calculate the volume of dry air at S.T.P. that occupies 28cm3 at 14∘C and 750 mm Hg pressure when saturated with water vapour. The vapour pressure of water at 14∘C is 12 mm Hg.
The pressure of dry air = 750 – 12 = 738 mmHg
Now,
50cm3 of hydrogen is collected over water at 17∘C and 750 mm Hg pressure. Calculate the volume of dry gas at S.T.P. The water vapour pressure at 17∘C is 14 mm Hg.
