  • question_answer
    A closed vessel contains 8 g of oxygen and 7 g of nitrogen. The total pressure is 10 atm at a given temperature. If now oxygen is absorbed by introducing a suitable absorbent, the pressure of the remaining gas in atm will be

    A) 2                     

    B) 10     

    C) 4                    

    D) 5

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] From Dalton's law, final pressure of the mixture of nitrogen and oxygen is \[P={{P}_{1}}+{{P}_{2}}\] \[=\frac{{{\mu }_{1}}RT}{V}+\frac{{{\mu }_{2}}RT}{V}=\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{M}_{1}}}\frac{RT}{V}+\frac{{{m}_{2}}}{{{V}_{2}}}\frac{RT}{V}\] \[=\frac{8}{32}\frac{RT}{V}+\frac{7}{28}\frac{RT}{V}=\frac{RT}{2V}\Rightarrow 10=\frac{RT}{2V}\]  ...(i) When oxygen is absorbed then for nitrogen let pressure is \[P=\frac{7}{28}\frac{RT}{4V}\] \[\Rightarrow P=\frac{RT}{4T}\]                                      ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get pressure of the nitrogen P=5 atm
