Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The partial pressure of H2 and number of moles of H2 in the mixture should be calculated. Amount of zinc needed to produce that quantity of hydrogen should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
According to Dalton’s law of partial pressure, if a container contains mixture of gases, the sum of partial pressures of all the gases present in the container is equal to the total pressure exerted on the wall of the container.
Thus, for three gases namely A, B and C with partial pressure
Where PT is the total pressure and PA, PB, PC are partial pressures of gases A, B and C The
Where, P = Pressure of the ideal gas (atm)
V = Volume of the ideal gas (L)
n = number of moles of ideal gas present (mol)
R = Universal gas constant (L atm/K)
T = Temperature in Kelvin (K).

- In the Mthode Champenoise, grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL grape juice (density = 1.0 g/cm3) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in H2O (actually, a wrong assumption), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25C? (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm3.)arrow_forwardDefine the joule in terms of SI base units.arrow_forward5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?arrow_forward
- What possible uses exist for the natural gas liquids that are removed from natural gas during its processing?arrow_forwardWhen water is added to a mixture of aluminum metal and sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas is produced. This is the reaction used in commercial drain cleaners: 2Al(s)+6H2O(l)+2OH(aq)2Al(OH)4(aq)+3H2(g)A sufficient amount of water is added to 49.92 g of NaOH to make 0.600 L of solution; 41.28 g of Al is added to this solution and hydrogen gas is formed. (a) Calculate the molarity of the initial NaOH solution. (b) How many moles of hydrogen were formed? (c) The hydrogen was collected over water at 25C and 758.6 mm Hg. The vapor pressure of water at this temperature is 23.8 mm Hg. What volume of hydrogen was generated?arrow_forward
