80 liters of oxygen is collected over water at 50.0 degrees Celsius. The atmospheric pressure during the collection was 96.00 kpa. What is the partial pressure of the oxygen?

The value of partial pressure of oxygen = 83.66 K pa

Explanation:

Volume of oxygen = 80 liters

Temperature = 50°c

The total pressure = 96 K pa

The partial pressure of water at 50°c is calculated from the tables.

= 12.344 K pa

The total pressure is given by

Put all the values in the above equation we get

96 = 12.344 +

96 - 12.344

= 83.66 K pa

This is the value of partial pressure of oxygen.

the formula for the conversion of temperature from degree celsius to kelvin is:

the sample of water at is converted to kelvin temperature by using the above formula as:

on comparing the two samples of water at or we can say that at and at respectively. the difference between the temperatures of two samples of water is:

hence, one can say that the sample of water at is greater than the sample of water at by .
