The total Pressure equals the sum of all pressures contained 

<span>Since total pressure and the pressure of nitrogen and oxygen is given, finding the pressure of carbon dioxide is given by: </span>

<span>Pressure of Carbon dioxide = 42.9- 6.6- 23.0 </span>
<span>=13.3kPa </span>

Answer : The partial pressure of the carbon dioxide gas is, 13.3 kPa

Solution :

According to the Dalton's law of partial pressures, the total pressure of an ideal gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the gases in the mixture.

P_T=P_{O_2}+P_{N_2}+P_{CO_2}

where,

P_T = total pressure = 42.9 kPa

P_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen gas = 6.6 kPa

P_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen gas = 23.0 kPa

P_{CO_2} = partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas.

42.9=6.6+23.0+P_{CO_2}

P_{CO_2}=13.3kPa

Therefore, the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide gas is, 13.3 kPa

2KClO3(s) =&gt; 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) <br> is there an increase or decrease of entropy?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Entropy increases

Explanation:

Entropy (S) is a measure of the degree of disorder.  For a given substance - say water - across phases the following is true ...

S(ice) < S(water) << S(steam)

For a chemical process, entropy changes can be related to increasing or decreasing molar volumes of gas from reactant side of equation to product side of equation. That is ...

if molar volumes of gas increase, then entropy increases, and

if molar volumes of gas decrease, then entropy decreases.

For the reaction                  2KClO₃(s) => 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

molar volumes of gas =>       0Vm*            0Vm      3Vm

*molar volumes (Vm) apply only to gas phase substances. Solids and liquids do not have molar volume.

Since the reaction produces 3 molar volumes of O₂(g) product vs 0 molar volumes of reactant, then the reaction is showing an increase in molar volumes of gas phase substances and its entropy is therefore increasing.
