A container is having mixture of gases, 20% ammonia, 30% hydrogen and 50% oxygen under 50 a.t.m pressure choose the correct partial pressure respectively
Correct answer: B. 10 atm, 15 atm, 25 atm
- A. 10 atm, 25 atm, 15 atm
- B. 10 atm, 15 atm, 25 atm
- C. 25atm, 10 atm, 15 atm
- D. 15 atm, 25 atm, 10 atm
Explanation
Simplify 20:30:50 to get 10:15:25To find the partial pressures of each gas, we need to calculate the pressure contributed by each gas assuming they are the only gas present in the container:Partial pressure of ammonia = 20% x 50 atm = 10 atmPartial pressure of hydrogen = 30% x 50 atm = 15 atmPartial pressure of oxygen = 50% x 50 atm = 25 atm

About Ideal Gas Equation
The ideal gas equation, PV = nRT, relates pressure, volume, amount and absolute temperature when gas particles are assumed to have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces. Applications include finding molar mass, density or an unknown gas variable, with careful use of Kelvin temperature and consistent units, and comparison with real-gas behaviour.
