In an experiment, 9.25 L of N2 is saturated with water vapor at 22C and then compressed to half its volume at constant temperature.
a. What is the partial pressure of H2O in the compressed gas mixture?
__________ torr
b. What mass of water vapor condenses to liquid?
__________ grams
The partial pressure of water is equal to vapour pressure of water at 22C0
At 22C0 vapour pressure of water = 19.8torr
The partial pressure of water vapour = 19.8torr
Water vapour compressed to half its volume half the water will condesed. But partial pressure of water no change.
b. PV = nRT
T = 22C0 = 22+273 = 295K
p = 19.8 torr = 19.8/760 = 0.026 atm
V = 9.25/2 = 4.625L
n = W/M
molar mass of H2O (M) = 18
PV = WRT/M
W = PVM/RT
= 0.026*4.625*18/0.0821*295
= 2.1645/24.2195 = 0.0893gm >>> answer
