Question

H2 is collected over water at 22 Celsius and 0.988atm. What isthe partial pressure of the hydrogen is the vapor pressure of waterat 22 celsius is equal to 20.0 torr? please show formula,what each number represents in regard tothe formula,and how to slove it? thanks H2 is collected over water at 22 Celsius and 0.988atm.

Explanation / Answer

The vapour pressure of water , p = 20 torr = 20 / 760atm              Since 1atm = 760 torr                                                  = 0.026 atm Let p' be the partial pressure of H2 gas We know that the sum of the partial pressure's of the gaspresent in the sample = Total pressure                          i.e., p + p' = P Given Total pressure , P = 0.988 atm                  0.988 = 0.026 + p'                       p' = 0.962 atm
