Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Partial pressure of oxygen and the moles of oxygen present in the mixture should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The problem can be solved using
Where, P is the total pressure of the mixture
V is the volume of the mixture
R is the gas constant
T is the absolute temperature and,
n is the total number of moles of nitrogen and oxygen gas
Now,
Once

- A typical barometric pressure in Redding. California, is about 750 mm Hg. Calculate this pressure in atm and kPa.arrow_forwardCalculate the total pressure (in atm) of a mixture of 0.0200 mol of helium, He, and 0.0100 mol of hydrogen, H2, in a 2.50-L flask at 10C. Assume ideal gas behavior.arrow_forwardThe 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_forward
- A 3.00-L flask containing 2.0 mol of O2 and 1.0 mol of N2 is in a room that is at 22.0C. a How much (what fraction) of the total pressure in the flask is due to the N2? b The flask is cooled and the pressure drops. What happens, if anything, to the mole fraction of the O2 at the lower temperature? c L of liquid water is introduced into the flask containing both gases. The pressure is then measured about 45 minutes later. Would you expect the measured pressure to be higher or lower? d Given the information in this problem and the conditions in part c, would it be possible to calculate the pressure in the flask after the introduction of the water? If it is not possible with the given information, what further information would you need to accomplish this task?arrow_forwardXenon and fluorine will react to form binary compounds when a mixture of these two gases is heated to 400C in a nickel reaction vessel. A 100.0-mL nickel container is filled with xenon and fluorine, giving partial pressures of 1.24 atm and 10.10 atm, respectively, at a temperature of 25C. The reaction vessel is heated to 400C to cause a reaction to occur and then cooled to a temperature at which F2 is a gas and the xenon fluoride compound produced is a nonvolatile solid. The remaining F2 gas is transferred to another 100.0-mL nickel container, where the pressure of F2 at 25C is 7.62 atm. Assuming all of the xenon has reacted, what is the formula of the product?arrow_forwardIn the Mthode Champenoise, grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL grape juice (density = 1.0 g/cm3) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in H2O (actually, a wrong assumption), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25C? (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm3.)arrow_forward
