30cm3 of hydrogen was collected over water at 27°C and 780 mm Hg. If the vapour pressure of water at the temperature of the experiment was 10 mm Hg, calcula...

Answer Details

Y1 = 30cm3 T1 = 27 + 273 = 300K and P1 = (780 - 10)mm Hg i.e the pressure minus the vapour pressure of water
P2 = 760mm Hg and T2 = 7 + 273 = 280K
From (P2V2) / (T2) = (P1V1) / (T1)
(770 x 30) / (300) = (760 x O2) / (280)
V2 = (770 x 30x 280) / (300 x 760)
V2 = 28.4 cm3
