A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen contains 40 % hydrogen by mass when the pressure is 2 . 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. P i = x i P P i =   partial   pressure   of   i th   component . x i = mole   fraction   of   the   i th   component P   =   total   pressure Let W H 2 = 40   g ⇒ n H 2 = 40 2 = 20 W O 2 = 60   g ⇒ n O 2 = 60 32 = 15 8 P H 2 = 20 20 + 15 8 × 2 . 2 = 20 20
