Question : 19
Total: 23
A mixture of dihydrogen and dioxygen at one bar pressure contains 20% by weight of dihydgrogen. Calculate the partial pressure of dihydrogen.
Solution:
Let the total mass of the mixture be 100 g
Mass ofH 2 =
× 100 = 20 g , No. of moles of H 2 =
= 10 moles
Mass ofO 2 = 100 – 20 = 80 g, No. of moles of O 2 =
= 2.5 moles
Total number of moles ofH 2 and O 2 = 10 + 2.5 = 12.5
Mole fraction ofH 2 =
=
= 0.8
Total pressure of mixture = 1 bar
∴ Partial pressure ofH 2 in the mixture, p H 2 = Mole fraction × Total pressure
= 0.8 × 1 = 0.8 bar
Mass of
Mass of
Total number of moles of
Mole fraction of
Total pressure of mixture = 1 bar
∴ Partial pressure of
= 0.8 × 1 = 0.8 bar
