Question

A mixture of H2 and O2 at 1 bar pressure contain 20% by weigh oh H2.Calculate partial pressure of H2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.8 bar

Step-by-step explanation:

As the mixture contains 20% by weight of hydrogen means 100 gm of the mixture contains 20 g of hydrogen, therefore 80 g of the mixture will be oxygen.

No. of moles of hydrogen =

mol. wt.

wt.

=

2

20

=10 moles

No. of moles of oxygen =

Mol. wt.

wt.

=

32

80

=2.5 moles

∴ Mole fraction of hydrogen (X

hydrogen

)=

Total no. of moles

Moles of hydrogen

=

12.5

10

=0.8

As we know that

Partial pressure = mole fraction × pure pressure

Given that Pure pressure =1 bar

∴ Partial pressure of hydrogen =X

×P

⇒P

hydrogen

=0.8×1=0.8 bar
