A mixture in which the mole ratio H_(2) and O_(2)is 2: 1 is used to prepare water by the reaction 2 H_(2) (g) + O_(2) (g) to 2 H_(2)O (g) The total pressure of the container is 0*8 " atm " 20^(@) Cbefore the reaction. Determine the final pressure at 120^(@) C after reaction assuming 80% yield of water.

SOLUTION :` {:(,2H_(2)(g),+,O_(2)(g),to,2H_(2)O(g)),(" Intial moles" ,2a ,,a,,0):}`
As pressureare in the ratio of their moles
` :. 2 a + a = 0*8 "ATM" or 3 a = 0*8 or a = (0*8)/3 "atm " `
THEORETICALLY expected yield of `H_(2)O = 2 a`
Actual yield ` 2 a xx 90/100 = 1*6 a`
` :. H_(2) reacted = 1*6 a " moles ",O_(2) "reacted "= 0* 8 a " moles "`
Moles after reaction : ` H_(2)= 2 a - 1*6 a = 0* 4 a, O_(2)= a - 0*8 a = 0*2 a `
Total no. of moles ` = 0*4 a + 0*2 + 1*6 a = 2*2a `
HENCE, FINAL pressure` = 2*2 xx(0*8)/3= 0* 59 "atm"`
