Q. Dalton’s law of partial pressure is applicable to which one of the following systems?
A) $NH_{3} + HCl$
B) $NO + O_{2}$
C) $H_{2} + Cl_{2}$
D) $CO + H_{2}$
Explanation
(d)
When a mixture of two or more non-reacting gases are enclosed in a container then the total pressure exerted by the gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of partial pressure of the components in the mixture.
$e.g.,\ CO + H_{2}$ are non-reacting gases. Hence, Dalton’s law of partial pressure is applicable to this system.
