Chapter 19, Problem 19.91QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

How you would measure the partial pressure of azomethane experimentally as a function of time has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Partial pressure: Gas that alone occupied hypothetical pressure from the entire volume of the original mixture of gases at the same temperature is said to be partial pressure.

• Total pressure of an ideal gas mixture was the sum of the partial pressures of the gases present in the mixture.

$\frac{V_x}{V_{tot}}=\frac{p_x}{p_{tot}}=\frac{n_x}{n_{tot}}$
