Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The partial pressures of the gasespresent in the given mixture of gases are to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The mole fraction of an individual gas for the combination of gases is the ratio of the moles of the individual gas to the total number of moles of the mixture.
Here,
Also, the mole fraction of an individual gas for the combination of gases can be calculated from the ratio of the partial pressure of the individual gas with the total pressure of the combination.
Here,
Answer to Problem 66QP
Solution: The partial pressure for
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Number of moles of
Number of moles of
Number of moles of
Total pressure
From Dalton’s law for the combination of gases, the total number of moles can be calculated as
Substitute
Calculate the mole fraction of
Substitute
Thus, the mole fraction of

- A mixture at 33 °C contains H2at 325 torr. N;at 475 tore and O2at 650. torr. What is the total pressure of the gases in the system? Which gas contains the greatest number of moles?arrow_forwardA collapsed balloon is filled with He to a volume of 12.5 L at a pressure of 1.00 atm. Oxygen, O2, is then added so that the final volume of the balloon is 26 L with a total pressure of 1.00 atm. The temperature, which remains constant throughout, is 21.5 C. (a) What mass of He does the balloon contain? (b) What is the final partial pressure of He in the balloon? (c) What is the partial pressure of O2 in the balloon? (d) What is the mole fraction of each gas?arrow_forward47 HCl(g) reacts with ammonia gas, NH3(g), to form solid ammonium chloride. If a sample of ammonia occupying 250 mL at 21 C and a pressure of 140 torr is allowed to react with excess HCl, what mass of NH4Cl will form?arrow_forward
