Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Partial pressure of each gas produced after hydrolysis of water has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Dolton’s law of partial pressure gives relation between total pressure of mixture of gases and partial pressure of individual gases. The expression of relation can be represented as follows:
Here,
A and B are individual gases.
Mole fraction is a relation between moles of constituent and total moles of all constituent in mixture. The expression of relation can be represented as follows:
Here,

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- The following figure shows three 1.00-L bulbs connected by valves. Each bulb contains argon gas with amounts proportional to the number of circles pictorially represented in the chamber. All three bulbs are maintained at the same temperature. Unless stated otherwise, assume that the valves connecting the bulbs are closed and seal the gases in their respective chambers. Assume also that the volume between each bulb is negligible. (a) Which bulb has the highest pressure? (b) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the pressure in bulb C? (c) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the total pressure? (d) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 arm, and the valve between bulbs A and B is opened, redraw the figure shown above to accurately represent the gas atoms in all three bulbs. What is P A+P B+P C? Compare your answer in part (d) to that in part (c). (e) Follow the instructions of part (d) but now open only the valve between bulbs B and C.arrow_forwardThe graph below shows the distribution of molecular speeds for helium and carbon dioxide at the same temperature. (a) Which curve could represent the behavior of carbon dioxide? (b) Which curve represents the gas that would effuse more quickly? (c) Which curve could represent the behavior of helium gas?arrow_forwardA sample of a compound of xenon and fluorine was confined in a bulb with a pressure of 18 tor. Hydrogen was added to the bulb until the pressure was 72 torr. Passage of an electric spark through the mixture produced Xe and HF. After the HF was removed by reaction with solid KOH, the final pressure of xenon and unreacted hydrogen in the bulb was 36 torr. What is the empirical formula of the xenon fluoride in the original sample? (Note: Xenon fluorides contain only one xenon atom per molecule.)arrow_forward
