Answer:
The partial pressure of the gas produced by the reaction is 0.9187 atm
Explanation:
Given;
vapor pressure of water, [tex]\rho_w[/tex] = 0.0313 atm
measured atmospheric pressure, [tex]P_{Total}[/tex] = 0.950 atm
partial pressure of the gas produced by the reaction = ?
According to Dalton's law of partial pressure; total pressure is equal to sum of partial pressure of water vapor and gas produced.
[tex]P_{Total} = P_{gas} + P_{water}[/tex]
[tex]P_{gas}[/tex] = [tex]P_{Total} -P_{water}[/tex]
[tex]P_{gas}[/tex] = 0.95 - 0.0313
[tex]P_{gas}[/tex] = 0.9187 atm
Therefore, the partial pressure of the gas produced by the reaction is 0.9187 atm
