Question

Hydrogen was collected over water using the approach in the manual. The water temperature was 220C and the measured pressure inside the tube was determined to be 715mmHg. Use Appendix F in your lab manual to determine the pressure of the collected hydrogen gas.

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 695.2 mmHg

Explanation:

Given:

Water temperature = 22°C

Pressure inside the tube = 715 mmHg

Find:

Pressure of hydrogen gas

Computation:

Using vapor pressure of water table

Water pressure at 22°C = 19.8 mmHg

Pressure inside the tube = Pressure of hydrogen gas + Water pressure at 22°C

715 = Pressure of hydrogen gas + 19.8

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 715 - 19.8

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 695.2 mmHg
