Chapter 11, Problem 121E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The total pressure in the flask is to be calculated when the limiting reactant is consumed completely.

Concept Introduction:

According to Dalton’s law of partial pressure, the total pressure is sum of partial pressure of each component of gaseous mixture.

The expression of Dalton’s law of partial pressure is:

$P_{\text{tot}}=P_{\text{a}}+P_{\text{b}}+\mathrm{....}$

Here, $P_{\text{tot}}=\text{ Total pressure}$$P_{\text{a}}=\text{Partial pressure of component}\text{a}$ & $P_{\text{b}}=\text{Partial pressure of component}\text{b}$.
