Acontainer holds oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen gas. the nitrogen gas has a partial pressure of 0.88 atm, while occupying 15% of the container’s volume. if the oxygen gas occupies 57% of the container’s volume, what is the partial pressure of the hydrogen gas in the container? a. 0.88 atm b. 1.64 atm c. 3.34 atm

The partial pressure of hydrogen gas = 1.64 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

partial pressure of nitrogen = 0.88 atm

Nitrogen occupies 15% of the volume (Let's assume the volume is 1L)

Oxygen gas occupies 57 % of the volume

Step 2: Calculate % volume of hydrogen

100 % - 15% - 57 % = 28 %

Step 2:

P1/V1 = P2/V2

⇒ with p1 = the partial pressure of nitrogen = 0.88 atm

⇒ with V1 = the volme occupied by nitrogen = 15% ( assume 0.15 L)

⇒ with P2 = the partial pressure of hydrogen = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with V2 = the volume occupied by hydrogen = 28 % = 0.28 L

0.88/ 0.15 = X/0.28

X = 1.64 atm

The partial pressure of hydrogen gas = 1.64 atm

answer; i do believe the correct answer is (river); /// good luck
