Law of Definite Proportions states that a compound is composed of the same ratio of elements present. The formation of water has a reaction:

H2 + 1/2 O2 = H2O

The limiting reactant would be the element with the least ratio of molar mass to stoichiometric coefficient, and that would be H2, not O2.

Answer:  

Explanation:  Law of Definite Proportions state that in a chemical compound, the constituent element will always exist in a fixed ratio which does not depend on the source of preparation.

So when hydrogen is burned in oxygen to form water, the composition of water formed does not depend on the oxygen but it depends on the hydrogen itself.

H_{2}O + 1/2 O_{2} \rightarrow H_{2}O

Thus the reaction usually depends on the limiting reagent ad hence , in the above reaction, hydrogen is the limiting reagent. Thus the reaction will depend on the hydrogen, not on oxygen.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is: <u>B. 366 torr</u>

Explanation:

Given: <u>On the ground</u>- Initial Volume: V₁ = 8.00 m³, Initial Atmospheric Pressure: P₁= 768 torr;

<u>At 4200 m height</u>- Final Volume: V₂ = 16.80 m³, Final Atmospheric Pressure: P₂ = ?

Amount of gas: n, and Temperature: T = constant

<u>According to the Boyle's Law</u>, for a given amount of gas at constant temperature:         P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

⇒  P₂ = P₁ V₁ ÷ V₂

⇒  P₂ = [(768 torr) × (8.00 m³)] ÷ (16.80 m³)

⇒  P₂ = 365.71 torr ≈ 366 torr

<u>Therefore, the final air pressure at 4200 m height: P₂ = 366 torr.</u>
