Question

Partial pressures of gas?

The picture below shows two bulbs connected by a stopcock. The 6.00-L bulb contains nitric oxide at a pressure of 0.850 atm, and the 1.50-L bulb contains oxygen at a pressure of 2.50 atm. which gases remain after the reaction goes to completion and calculate their partial pressures. I ne temperature at the beginnning and the end of the experiment is 22 degree C. Which gases are present at the end of the experiment? What are the partial pressures of the gases? If the gas was consumed completely, put 0 for the answer.

Explanation / Answer

NO = 0.85 * 6 = 5.1

q2 = 1.5*2.5=3.75

oxygen is in excess as 3.75 x 2 = 7.5 of no is required to react. hence oxygen and no2 will remain at the end

amount of no2 formed is 5.1

oxygen remaining is ( 3.75 - (5.1/2 ) ) = 1.2

pno is zero as it is fully consumed,

p o2 is 1.2/(1.2 + 5.1) = 0.1904

and p no2 is 1-0.1904 = 0.809

gases present at end = O2 and NO2

Pno = 0

PO2 = 0.19

PNO2 = 0.809
