The new pressure : P₂ = 1038.39 mmHg
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
1.5 L container at STP
Heated to 100 °C
Required
The new pressure
Solution
Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure).
So P₁ = 1 atm = 760 mmHg
T₁ = 273 K
T₂ = 100 °C+273 = 373 K
Gay Lussac's Law
When the volume is not changed, the gas pressure is proportional to its absolute temperature
Input the value :
P₂=(P₁.T₂)/T₁
P₂=(760 x 373)/273
P₂ = 1038.39 mmHg
Explanation:
It is given that vapor pressure of pure water at 296 K is 2778.5 Pa.These vapors will result in the formation of an ideal gas.
Now, as water is covered with oil and contains only 1% molecules of water. Hence, the vapor pressure of this mixture will also be equal to the vapor pressure of pure water.
So, vapor pressure of mixture = 1% vapor pressure of pure water
Therefore, =
= 27.785 Pa
Thus, we can conclude that the equilibrium vapor pressure of water above the oil layer is 27.785 Pa.
