Under standard room temperature and pressure conditions, which of the following specific gas mixture — States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question
Question
Under standard room temperature and pressure conditions, which of the following specific gas mixtures will fail to strictly obey Dalton's Law of partial pressures due to chemical interactions?
Answer: A,B
💡 Solution & Explanation
Dalton's Law requires gases to be strictly non-reacting. $NH_3$ and $HCl$ react spontaneously at room temperature to form solid $NH_4Cl$. $NO$ and $O_2$ react spontaneously to form $NO_2$. However, $N_2$ and $H_2$ require a catalyst and high temperature/pressure (Haber process), and $He$ is inert, so mixtures C and D will obey the law at room conditions.
