and the liquid level inside the gas collecting tube is 85mm above that in the beaker, calculate:
a. The pressure of "dry" hydrogen gas in the tube
b. The number of moles of hydrogen gas in the tube.
first we find the pressure of the gas mixture:
since the density of water is about 1 gram / ml,
& mercury has a density about 13.5 grams / ml
13.5 times less mm of mercury, will put out as much pressure as
85 mm of liquid water in the tube.
so
85 mm of water / 13.5 = 6.30 mm of Hg
which tells us that the height of water in the tube puts out 6.3 Torr of the 770 total torr
the gas mix has a total pressure of 764 Torr
====================================
find the pressure of "dry" hydrogen gas in the tube
total gas pressure is 764 Torr
according to http://home.comcast.net/~frankhanson2/vapor.htm
there is 18.7 Torr of water vapor @ 21 Celsius
764 Torr - 19 torr water =
your first answer
745 Torr of dry H2
===============================================
PV = nRT
(745 Torr) (0.0800 Litres) = n (62.36 L -Torr / K-mol) (294 Kelvin)
n = 0.003251 moles of H2
your answer,
rounded to 3 sig figs is
0.00325 moles of H2
