Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The partial pressure of H2 and number of moles of H2 in the mixture should be calculated. Amount of zinc needed to produce that quantity of hydrogen should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
According to Dalton’s law of partial pressure, if a container contains mixture of gases, the sum of partial pressures of all the gases present in the container is equal to the total pressure exerted on the wall of the container.
Thus, for three gases namely A, B and C with partial pressure
Where PT is the total pressure and PA, PB, PC are partial pressures of gases A, B and C The
Where, P = Pressure of the ideal gas (atm)
V = Volume of the ideal gas (L)
n = number of moles of ideal gas present (mol)
R = Universal gas constant (L atm/K)
T = Temperature in Kelvin (K).
