Chapter 13, Problem 98E

In the laboratory, hydrogen chloride $\left(\text{HCl}\left(\text{g}\right)\right)$ and ammonia $\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\left(\text{g}\right)\right)$ often escape from bottles of their solutions and react to form the ammonium chloride $\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{4}}\text{Cl}\left(\text{s}\right)\right)$ , the white glaze often seen on glassware. Assumingthat the number of moles of each gas that escapes into the room is the same, what is the maximum partial of HCl and NH₃ in the laboratory at room temperature? (Hint: The partialpressures will be equal and are at their maximum value when at equilibrium.)
