Q.
A sample of hydrogen gas was collected over water at 21∘C and 685mmHg . The volume of the container was 7.80L . Calculate the mass of H2(g) collected (vapour pressure of water =18.6mmHg at 21∘C )
The volume of H2 at STP V2=T1P1V1×P2T2
Here vapour pressure of H2 at 21∘C
= 685 mm – 18.6 mm = 666.4 mm
So V2=294K×760mm666.4mmHg×7.80L×273K=6.38L
At STP 22.4LH2weight=2g
So, at STP 6.38LH2weigh=22.4L2g×6.38L=0.570g
