A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen contains 40 % hydrogen by mass...

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen contains 4040 % hydrogen by mass when the pressure is 2.22 . 2 bar. The partial pressure of hydrogen is bar.

Correct answer

2

Step-by-step solution

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the total pressure by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each of the constituent gases.

Pi=xiPPi=partialpressureofithcomponent.xi=molefractionoftheithcomponentP=totalpressure{P}_{i} = {x}_{i}P{P}_{i} = partialpressureof{i}^{th}component . {x}_{i} = molefractionofthe{i}^{th}componentP = totalpressure

Let WH2=40g⇒nH2=402=20{W}_{{H}_{2}} = 40g ⇒ {n}_{{H}_{2}} = \dfrac{40}{2} = 20

WO2=60g⇒nO2=6032=158{W}_{{O}_{2}} = 60g ⇒ {n}_{{O}_{2}} = \dfrac{60}{32} = \dfrac{15}{8}

PH2=(2020+158)×2.2{P}_{{H}_{2}} = \left(\dfrac{20}{20 + \dfrac{15}{8}}\right) \times 2 . 2

=2020+1.875×2.2= \dfrac{20}{20 + 1 . 875} \times 2 . 2

=2021.875×2.2= \dfrac{20}{21 . 875} \times 2 . 2

=2.0114= 2 . 0114

≃2.01bar≃ 2 . 01bar
