A mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is analysed by passing it over hot copper oxide through a drying tube. Hydrogen reduces CuO according to the equation, CuO+H2Cu+H2O; the copper formed is then oxidised by oxygen as:

Cu+12O2CuO
100 cm3 of the mixture measured at 25°C and 750 mm yields 84.5 cm3 of dry oxygen measured at 25°C and 750 mm, after passing over CuO and a drying agent. What is the mole per cent of H2 in the mixture?

When 100 mL of an O2-O3 mixture was passed through turpentine, there was a reduction in volume by 20 mL. If 100 mL of such a mixture is heated, what will be the increase in volume (in ml) ?

[Hint: O3 is absorbed by turpentine]

5.22×10-4 mol of a gas containing H2, O2 and N2 exerted a pressure of 67.4 mm in a certain standard volume. The gas was passed over a hot platinum filament which combined H2 and O2 into H2O which was frozen out. When the gas was returned to the same volume, the pressure was 14.3 mm. Extra oxygen was added to increase the pressure to 44.3 mm. The combustion was repeated, after which the pressure read 32.9 mm. What was the mole fraction of H2, O2 and N2 in the gas sample?

[Hint: 2 volumes of H2 combine with 1 volume of O2. In the first combustion, H2 is in excess, while in the second one, O2 is in excess]
