According to Dalton's Atomic Theory, the <em>Law of Definite Proportion is applied when a compound is always made up by a fixed fraction of its individual elements.</em> This is manifested by the balancing of the reaction.
The reaction for this problem is:
H₂ + Cl₂ → 2 HCl
1 mol of H₂ is needed for every 1 mole of Cl₂. Assuming these are ideal gases, the moles is equal to the volume. So, if equal volumes of the reactants are available, they will produce twice the given volumes of HCl.
Atomic number is 8 and atomic mass is taken as 16 amu
Answer:
0.184 atm
Explanation:
The ideal gas equation is:
PV = nRT
Where<em> P</em> is the pressure, <em>V</em> is the volume, <em>n</em> is the number of moles, <em>R</em> the constant of the gases, and <em>T</em> the temperature.
So, the sample of N₂O₃ will only have its temperature doubled, with the same volume and the same number of moles. Temperature and pressure are directly related, so if one increases the other also increases, then the pressure must double to 0.092 atm.
The decomposition occurs:
N₂O₃(g) ⇄ NO₂(g) + NO(g)
So, 1 mol of N₂O₃ will produce 2 moles of the products (1 of each), the <em>n </em>will double. The volume and the temperature are now constants, and the pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles, so the pressure will double to 0.184 atm.
