Chapter 11, Problem 107E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of the gas mixture is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: According to ideal gas law, the volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles and an inversely proportional to pressure.

The expression of ideal gas law is:

$PV=nRT$

Here, $P$ is pressure, $V$ is volume, $n$ is the number of moles, $R$ is gas constant and $T$ is temperature.

The partial pressure of any component is given as:

$\text{Partial pressure of component = Fractional composition of component }\times \text{ Total pressure}$
