Answer:
Water pressure 0.5 atm
Total Pressure= 2.27 atm
Explanation:
To answer this problem, one has to realize that there are two processes that increase the temperature of the sealed vessel.
First, the dry air in the sealed vessel will be heated which will cause its pressure to increase and it can be determined by the equation:
P₁ x T₂ = P₂ x T₁ ∴ P₂ = P₁ x T₂ / T₁
For the second process, we have an amount of n moles of water which will be released when the copper sulfate is heated. In this case, to determine the value of the the water gas we will use the gas law:
PV = nRT ∴ P = nRT/V
n will we calculated from the quantity of sample.
2.50 g CuSo₄ 5H₂O x 1 mol/ 249.69 g = 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O
the amount water of hydration is
= 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O * 5 mol H₂O / 1 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O
= 0.05 mo H₂O
pressure of dry air at the final temperature,
P₂ = 1 atm x 500 K/ 300 K = 1.67 atm
Pressure of water :
P (H₂O) 0.05 mol x 0.08206 Latm/kmol x 500 K/ 4 L = 0.5 atm
∴ Total Pressure = 1.67 atm
H2O Pressure = 0.5 atm
Because copper sulphate is not an ionic substance, no bonds are changed when it is dissolved. Thus it has to be a physical change
659. 48 g of water is produced
