Atotal of 0.829 l of hydrogen gas is collected over water at 33.0°c. the total pressure is 794 torr.
if the vapor pressure of water at 33.0°c is 13.2 torr, what is the partial pressure of hydrogen?

P(H₂) = 807.2 torr

Explanation:

According to the Dalton law, the pressure of mixture of a gas is sum of the partial pressure of its mixing component gases.

P(total) = P1 + P2 + P3 +

In given problem,

Total pressure is = 794 torr

Partial pressure of water = 13.2 torr

Partial pressure of hydrogen = ?

Solution:

P(total) = P(H₂O)  + P(H₂)

P(H₂) = P(total) - P(H₂O)

P(H₂) = 794 torr - 13.2 torr

P(H₂) = 807.2 torr
