By applying Dalton's law of pressure equations we can calculate the total pressure of a mixture of gases by adding together the partial pressures of the component gases
Explanation:
Dalton's law of partial pressure is the concept used in calculating either partial pressure or total pressure in a given mixture of gases.
The law says that each gas has its own pressure which it puts on the mixture of gases. This pressure is called partial pressure. Also, the sum total of all the gases exerting pressure on the mixture is termed total pressure.
The quantity of individual gas can be known and hence it will get easy to calculate its partial pressure.
The relation used is:
Partial pressure = mole fraction of the one gas from mixture x total pressure in the mixture.
It also says that total pressure is equal to:
total pressure = p1 +p2+p3....pn
here p1, p2 is partial pressure of one of gases in mixture.
When you add baking soda on an acidic compound such as citric acid or vinegar, it will cause a reaction where the mixture will get bubbly and will overflow on a glass or bottle. Carbon dioxide also forms when this reaction occurs.
Carbon and Hydrogen are present in all organic compounds !
Answer:
1023.75mmHg
Explanation:
V1 = 3.5L
P1 = 585mmHg
V2 = 2.0L
P2 = ?
To solve this question, we'll require the use of Boyle's law which states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that temperature is kept constant.
Mathematically,
V = kP, k = PV
P1 × V1 = P2 × V2 = P3 × V3 = .......= Pn × Vn
P1 × V1 = P2 × V2
Solve for P2,
P2 = (P1 × V1) / V2
P2 = (585 × 3.5) / 2.0
P2 = 2047.5 / 2.0
P2 = 1023.75mmHg
The final pressure of the gas is 1023.75mmHg
