Homework Statement
60 L of N2 are collected over H2O at 40oC when atmospheric pressure is 760.00 torr. What is partial pressure of N2?
Homework Equations
PV=nRT
Pt=P1+P2...
Vapor pressure of H2O at 40oC:7.3590 KPa
760 torr=101.3 kPa
40oC=313oK
The Attempt at a Solution
PV-nRT
(60)101.3=313(n)8.3145
((60)101.3)/((313)8.3145)=2.166g...That doesn't help, mass of H2O unknown.
Pt=P1+P2?
Pt=101.3kPa+PN...Pt is not given...doesn't work.
Cannot assume Pt is ambient pressure because container's height affects pressure.
