A mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is analysed by passing it over hot copper oxide through a drying tube. Hydrogen reduces according to the equation, ; the copper formed is then oxidised by oxygen as:
of the mixture measured at and yields of dry oxygen measured at and , after passing over and a drying agent. What is the mole per cent of in the mixture?
of the mixture measured at and yields of dry oxygen measured at and , after passing over and a drying agent. What is the mole per cent of in the mixture?


Important Questions on Eudiometry or Gas Analysis

When of an mixture was passed through turpentine, there was a reduction in volume by . If of such a mixture is heated, what will be the increase in volume (in ml) ?
[Hint: is absorbed by turpentine]


of a gas containing and exerted a pressure of in a certain standard volume. The gas was passed over a hot platinum filament which combined and into which was frozen out. When the gas was returned to the same volume, the pressure was . Extra oxygen was added to increase the pressure to . The combustion was repeated, after which the pressure read . What was the mole fraction of and in the gas sample?
[Hint: volumes of combine with volume of . In the first combustion, is in excess, while in the second one, is in excess]
