Answer:
P(N) = 38.48 mmHg
Explanation:
Given data:
Partial pressure of He = 15.22 mmHg
Partial pressure of O = 35.21 mmHg
Partial pressure of N = ?
Total pressure = 88.91 mmHg
Solution:
According to Dalton law of partial pressure,
The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.
Mathematical expression:
P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ
Now we will solve this problem by using this law.
P(total) = P(He) + P(O) + P(N)
88.91 mmHg = 15.22 mmHg + 35.21 mmHg + P(N)
88.91 mmHg = 50.43 mmHg + P(N)
P(N) = 88.91 mmHg - 50.43 mmHg
P(N) = 38.48 mmHg
Answer:
It is called Potassium Hydroxide
