Concept explainers
(a)
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:
Dalton’s Law of Partial pressure: It states that total pressure of mixture of gases is sum of their partial pressure.
Also, it relates partial pressure of gases with total pressure as:
Where, Pgas = partial pressure of gas
Ptotal = total pressure of mixture
(b)
Interpretation: The partial pressure of nitrogen and oxygen gas, total pressure and the mole percent of the composition of the mixture needs to be calculated.

- The density of air 20 km above Earths surface is 92 g/m3. The pressure of the atmosphere is 42 mm Hg, and the temperature is 63 C. (a) What is the average molar mass of the atmosphere at this altitude? (b) If the atmosphere at this altitude consists of only O2 and N2, what is the mole fraction of each gas?arrow_forwardA cylinder of compressed gas is labeled Composition (mole %): 4.5% H2S, 3.0% CO2, balance N2. The pressure gauge attached to the cylinder reads 46 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas, in atmospheres, in the cylinder.arrow_forward93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)arrow_forward
