How does one calculate Partial Pressure given M, V, Temp, t?
« on: October 11, 2009, 02:58:39 PM »
I know that seems like a lot of information--but maybe too much.  I was going down the road of PV=nRT but that didn't take me anywhere.  I think it's the time aspect that's confusing me.  Is the time just a distraction variable?  I think I need help understanding how these variables are relevant and related so I can be pointed toward a correct formula set.

Many thanks for any help in pushing me in the right direction.

No idea what you are referring to - no time in pV=nRT.

In a bone headed move, I did not enter the actual question which is as follows:

Calculate the partial pressure of O2 produced from 1.75 L of 0.502 M N2O5 solution at 45 C over a period of 15.0 h if the gas is collected in a 11.7-L container. (Assume that the products do not dissolve in chloroform.)

I'm having trouble figuring out how to modify my actual question....so I hope this does it. 

Many Thanks.
