A student collected nitrogen by displacing water in a graduated cylinder. the atmospheric pressure was 738.9 mmhg; the height of the water remaining in the cylinder was 13.2 mm; the partial pressure of the water was 18.8 mmhg. determine the partial pressure of the nitrogen in the cylinder. the density of mercury is 13.6 g/m

Answer 1

pressureN2=738.9-(13.2/13.9)mmHg-18.8mmHg
