Chapter 12, Problem 97CE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Pressure of each gas if $3.0{\text{ L CO}}_2$ at $150\text{ torr}$ is mixed with $1.0{\text{ L H}}_2$ at $50\text{ torr}$ at constant temperature has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law represents inverse relation of volume of fixed mass of ideal gas with its pressure at fixed temperature.

Mathematically relation for Boyle’s law is as follows:

  $V\propto \frac{1}{P}$

Or,

  $P_1{V}_1=P_2{V}_2$

Here,

$P_1$ is initial pressure.

$P_2$ is final pressure.

$V_1$ is initial volume.

$V_2$ is final volume.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Total pressure of system if $3.0{\text{ L CO}}_2$ at $150\text{ torr}$ is mixed with $1.0{\text{ L H}}_2$ at $50\text{ torr}$ at constant temperature has to be determined.
