Q. Dalton’s law of partial pressure is not applicable to
A) $H_{2}$ and $N_{2}$ mixture
B) $H_{2}$ and ${Cl}_{2}$ mixture
C) $H_{2}$ and ${CO}_{2}$ mixture
D) None of these
Explanation
(b)
Dalton’s law of partial pressure is not applicable to gases which react chemically and produce different number of moles of products than the reactants. Some gases which do not obey this law are
$SO_{2} + Cl_{2},\ CO + Cl_{2},\ NO + O_{2},\ NH_{3} + HCl$ and $H_{2} + Cl_{2}$
