Question

Liquid nitrogen trichloride is heated in a 1.25−L closed reaction vessel until it decomposes completely to gaseous elements. The resulting mixture exerts a pressure of 773 mmHg at 86°C. What is the partial pressure of each gas in the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

N2= 193.25mmHg

Cl2= 579.75mmHg

Explanation:

Total number of moles=4

For N2 mole fraction=1/4

Partial pressure of N2= 1/4× 773= 193.25mmHg

For Cl2, mole fraction= 3/4

Partial pressure of Cl2= 3/4 × 773 = 579.75 mmHg
