Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Final pressure inside the system has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Dalton’s law of partial pressure:
According to this law, the total pressure exerted by each gas in a mixture is equal to the sum of the individual partial pressure of the gases.
Boyle’s law:
At fixed temperature and number of molecules, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.
(a)
Answer to Problem 54QRT
Final pressure inside the system is
Explanation of Solution
Given data is shown below,
Final pressure of
Substitute the values to determine the final pressure,
According to Dalton’s law, the total pressure of gases in a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each gas in the mixture. Hence, final pressure inside the system can be determined as follows,
Final pressure inside the system is

- A sample of a smoke stack emission was collected into a 1.25-L tank at 752 mm Hg and analyzed. The analysis showed 92% CO2, 3.6% NO, 1.2% SO2, and 4.1% H2O by mass. What is the partial pressure exerted by each gas?arrow_forwardOxygen Consumption If 5.00 L of hydrogen gas,measured at a temperature of 20.0°C and a pressure of80.1 kPa, is burned in excess oxygen to form water, whatmass of oxygen will be consumed? Assume temperatureand pressure remain constant.arrow_forwardGiven that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forward
