A mixture of hydrogen, nitrogen, and water vapor has a total pressure of 864 mmHg. The partial pressure of hydrogen is 220 mmHg and that of nitrogen is 410 mmHg. What is the partial pressure of water vapor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

As per Dalton's law of Partial pressure,

The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to sum of partial pressure of individual components of the mixture.

So,P=P_H+P_N+P_WP=P  

H

+P  

N

+P  

W

 

\implies 864\ mm=220\ mm+410\ mm+P_W\implies⟹864 mm=220 mm+410 mm+P  

W

⟹ P_W=864-630=234P  

W

=864−630=234 mm of Hg.

Explanation:

"The partial pressure of water vapor is 234 mm Hg."

What is partial pressure?

The force that a gas exerts is known as partial pressure. The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of their partial pressures.

Partial pressure can be calculated by using the formula: [tex]P_{Total} =P_{N} +P_{H} +P_{H}[/tex]

Puts the value of given data in above equation.

[tex]Px_{W} =864-410-220\\\\= 234 mm Hg[/tex]
