How is Dalton's law of partial pressures useful in calculating the pressure of a dry gas?
300 mL of a gas A at a pressure of 600 mm is mixed with 200mL of another gas B at a pressure of 700 mm in a vessel of 2-litre capacity. What will be the total pressure of the resulting mixture, if the temperature is kept constant?
What will be the pressure of the gaseous mixture when 0.5 L of H2 at 0.8 bar and 2.0 L of dioxygen at 0.7 bar are introduced in a 1L vessel at 27°C?
A neon-dioxygen mixture contains 70.6 g dioxygen and 167·5 g neon. If pressure of the mixture of gases in the cylinder is 25 bar, what is the partial pressure of dioxygen and neon in the mixture?
A mixture of dihydrogen and dioxygen at one bar pressure contains 20% by weight of dihydrogen. Calculate the partial pressure of dihydrogen.
Calculate the total pressure in a mixture of 8g of dioxygen and 4g of dihydrogen confined in a vessel of 1 dm3 at 27°C. R = 0·083 bar dm3 k–1 mol–1.
What do you mean by kinetic molecular theory of gases? What is its purpose?
This model is used to describe the behaviour of gases. The model itself along with the assumptions regarding elastic collisions, momentum, kinetic energy, random motion, temperature, volume and pressure of gases is known as the kinetic molecular theory of gases. The main postulates of kinetic theory of gases are rapidly moving molecules. The molecules collide with one another and with the walls of the containing vessel.
Purpose: The main purpose of the kinetic theory of gases is to develop a physical picture of the nature of the gaseous state capable of explaining various laws of gaseous behaviour. This theory is applicable only to a perfect or an ideal gas.
