Question

Nitrogen gas was collected by water displacement. What was the pressure of the N2 collected if the temperature was 50 degrees celcius?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure = 101.325 kPa

vapor pressure of water at 50°C = 12.332 kPa

pressure of N₂ = (Atmospheric pressure) - (vapor pressure of water at 50 oC)

pressure of N₂ = (101.325 kPa) - (12.332 kPa)

pressure of N₂ = 88.993 kPa

Therefore, the pressure of the N₂ collected if the temperature was 50 degrees celcius is 88.993 kPa
