Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter States of Matter. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 19: a mixture of dihydrogen and dioxygen at one bar pr....
Question 19

A mixture of dihydrogen and dioxygen at one bar pressure contains 20% by weight of dihydrogen. Calculate the partial pressure of dihydrogen.

Answer

Pressure of the gas mixture = 1 bar

Let us consider 100g of the mixture

So ,mass of hydrogen in the mixture  = 20 g

& mass of oxygen in the mixture = 80 g

Using the respective molar masses, we get

  nH = 20/ 2  = 10 mol

. nO = 80 / 32 = 2.5 mol

Then, pH = XH x Ptotal

= (nH / nH + nO) x P total  

= (10 / 10 + 2.5 ) x  1 

= 0.8 bar

Hence, the partial pressure of dihydrogen is 0.8 bar.
