How to calculate Water and N2 is mixed together
« on: June 22, 2019, 08:15:48 AM »
Water and N2 is mixed together in a container, dissolved amount of N2 is negligible (the container is  lid by a piston).

1. Initially, total pressure (N2+water) inside container and vapour pressure of H2O are given. Find partial pressure of N2

2. Later, press down the container to reduce its volume, then find new pressure at constant T

Do I have to use Raoult's law? or it's just Total Pressure = Partial Pressure of N2 + vapour pressure of H2O

For 2nd; P(of total, before pressing)V(before pressing) = P(after pressing)V(after pressing)

are these methods correct?

For 1, just got that Total pressure = Partial pressure of N2 + vapour pressure of H2O

But still have no idea for 2

How does the pressure of nitrogen vary with the volume at constant T?
How does the vapour pressure of water vary with the volume at constant T?
