Answer:
The value of partial pressure of oxygen [tex]P_{O_{2} }[/tex] = 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.
[tex]P_{H_{2}O }[/tex] = 12.344 K pa
The total pressure is given by
[tex]P_{total} =[/tex] [tex]P_{H_{2}O } + P_{O_{2} }[/tex]
Put all the values in the above equation we get
96 = 12.344 + [tex]P_{O_{2} }[/tex]
[tex]P_{O_{2} } =[/tex] 96 - 12.344
[tex]P_{O_{2} }[/tex] = 83.66 K pa
This is the value of partial pressure of oxygen.
