Q.
One litre of oxygen at a pressure of 1atm and two litres of nitrogen at a pressure of 0.5atm are added into a vessel of volume 1L . If the change in temperature is zero, then find the final pressure of the mixture of gas (in atm ) will be:
The Ideal gas equation is given by PV=nRT ... (i)
For oxygen, P=1atm , V=1L , n=no2
Therefore, Eq. (i) becomes ∴1×1=nO2RT ∴nO2=RT1
For nitrogen P=0.5atm , V=2L , n=nN2
Therefore 0.5×2=nN2RT ⇒nN2=RT1
For the mixture of gas PmixVmix=nmixRT
Here, nmix=no2+nN2 RTPmixVmix=RT1+RT1 ⇒PmixVmix=2 ⇒Pmix=2atm
