We’re being asked to calculate the number of moles of the hydrogen gas produced from a hydrolysis reaction that is collected over water.

Hydrogen gas is the natural form of hydrogen and it is a diatomic molecule.

Hydrogen gas → H2(g)

We’re going to calculate the amount of hydrogen gas in moles using the ideal gas equation.

$\overline{){\mathbf{P}}{\mathbf{V}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{n}}{\mathbf{R}}{\mathbf{T}}}$

P = pressure, atm
V = volume, L
n = moles, mol
R = gas constant = 0.08206 (L·atm)/(mol·K)
T = temperature, K

Let's first calculate the Partial Pressure of hydrogen gas:

Given:            Total Pressure (Ptotal) = 739 mmHg
