Question

Gu
Magnesium metal is reacted with hydrochloric acid to produce
hydrogen gas. A sample of hydrogen gas is collected over water
in a eudiometer at 28.0°C. The atmospheric pressure is 636
mmHg. Determine the pressure (in atm) of the hydrogen gas
produced
Pressure =
atm

Answer 1

The pressure of hydrogen gas is 607.7 mmHg

According of Dalton's law of Partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture.

We can now write;

The for hydrogen collected over water, we have a mixture of hydrogen gas and water vapour.

Total pressure = pressure of hydrogen gas + vapour pressure of water

Pressure of hydrogen gas = Total pressure - vapour pressure of water

Pressure of hydrogen gas =  636 mmHg - 28.3 mmHg

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 607.7 mmHg
