partial pressures
« on: July 03, 2007, 09:01:50 AM »
a sample of liquid nitrogen trichloride was heated in a 1.50 liter closed container until it decomposed completely to gaseous elements.  The resulting mixture exerted a pressure of 744 torr at 75 degree celsius.
a.What is the partial pressure of each gas in the container?

Is it right the the gaseous elements formed are N2 and Cl2? So does that mean that I will solve two partial pressures?

First start with a balanced chemical reaction.  This will tell you the ratio of nitrogen molecules to chlorine molecules.
