Question 26 Number Problems

Calculate the volume of dry air at S.T.P. that occupies 28 cm3 at 14°C and 750 mm Hg pressure when saturated with water vapour. The vapor pressure of water at 14°C is 12 mm Hg

Answer:

Pressure due to dry air,

P = 750 - 12 = 738 mm

V = 28 cm3

T = 14°C = 14 + 273 = 287 K

P1 = 760 mmHg

V1= ?

T1 = 0°C = 273 K

Using the gas equation,

PV/T = P1V1/T1

750 x 28/287 = 760 x V1/273

V1= 25.9 cm3
