Chapter 1, Problem 1.26NP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The partial pressure of hydrogen and oxygen gas, total pressure and the mole percent of the composition of the mixture needs to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Mole Fraction: It is ratio of mole of component and total moles. It is given as:

  $\text{Mole fraction (}\chi \text{) = }\frac{\text{mole of component}}{\text{Total moles}}$

Dalton’s Law of Partial pressure: It states that total pressure of mixture of gases is sum of their partial pressure.

  $P_{total}=P_1+P_2+P_3+\dots \dots \dots$

Also, it relates partial pressure of gases with total pressure as:

  $P_{\text{gas}}=P_{\text{total}}\times {\chi }_{\text{gas}}$

Where, P_gas = partial pressure of gas

P_total = total pressure of mixture

  ${\chi }_{gas}$ = mole fraction of gas
