Answer to Question #184892 in Inorganic Chemistry for Toa

Question

A closed gas cylinder contains 0.500 mol H2, 0.300 mol O2, 1.200 mol CO2 at a

temperature of 25 °C and a pressure of 2.00 atm.

i. Explain Dalton’s Law of partial pressure.

ii. Calculate the volume of the cylinder.

iii. Calculate the partial pressure of O2 in the container.

Answer 1

(i)Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure states the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each individual gas
