Chemistry - Ideal Gas Question with Solution | TestHub
The apparatus shown consists of three temperature jacketed 1.642 l bulbs connected by stopcocks. Bulb A contains a mixture of H2O(g), CO2(g) and N2(g) at 27°C and a total pressure of 570 mm Hg. Bulb B is empty and held at a temperature of -73°C. Bulb C is also empty and is held at a temperature of -193°C. The stopcocks are closed and the volume of the lines connecting the bulbs is zero. CO2 sublimes at -78°C and N2 boils at -196°C. Neglect the volume of any solid, if formed.
How many moles of H2O are in the system?
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Total moles initially = ((570/760) × 1.642)/(0.0821 × 300) = 0.05 mol. Gas remaining (CO2 + N2) = 0.035 mol. n(H2O) = 0.05 - 0.035 = 0.015 mol. Hence (b).
