    A closed vessel contains 8 g of oxygen and 7g of nitrogen. The total pressure is 10 atm at a given temperature. If now oxygen is absorbed by introducing a suitable absorbent the pressure of the remaining gas (in atm) will be

    A)  2                                            

    B)  10

    C)  4                                            

    D)  5

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     From Dalton's law, final pressure of the mixture of nitrogen and oxygen \[{{p}_{mix}}={{p}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{{{\mu }_{1}}RT}{V}+\frac{{{\mu }_{2}}RT}{V}\]                 \[=\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{M}_{1}}}\frac{RT}{V}+\frac{{{m}_{2}}}{{{M}_{2}}}\frac{RT}{V}\]                 \[=\frac{8}{32}\frac{RT}{V}+\frac{7}{28}\frac{RT}{V}=\frac{RT}{2V}\]                 \[10=\frac{RT}{2V}\]                       ??? (i) When oxygen is absorbed then for nitrogen by pressure                 \[p=\frac{7}{28}\frac{RT}{V}\]                 \[p=\frac{RT}{4V}\]                         ?????.. (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get Pressure of the nitrogen\[p=5\text{ }atm\]
