Concept Introduction:
Dolton’s law of partial pressure gives relation between total pressure of mixture of gases and partial pressure of distinct gases. The expression of relation can be given as follows:
Here,
A and B are individual gases.
Here,
Mole fraction is a relation between moles of constituent and total moles of all constituent in mixture. The expression of relation can be represented as follows:

- Given that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardIn the discussion on the composition of air, mention is made of the fact that water vapor may have a concentration as high as 40,000 ppm. Calculate the partial pressure exerted by water vapor at this concentration. Assume that this represents a situation with 100% humidity. What temperature would be needed to achieve this value? (See Appendix G.)arrow_forwardYou have two pressure-proof steel cylinders of equal volume, one containing 1.0 kg of CO and the other containing 1.0 kg of acetylene, C2H2. (a) In which cylinder is the pressure greater at 25 C? (b) Which cylinder contains the greater number of molecules?arrow_forward
- 73. A 500.-mL sample of O2 gas at 24 °C was prepared by decomposing a 3% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2 O2, in the presence of a small amount of manganese catalyst by the reaction 2H2 O2 (aq) → 2H2O (g) + The oxygen thus prepared was collected by displacement of water. The total pressure of gas collected was 755 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of O2 in the mixture? How many moles of O2 are in the mixture? (The vapor pressure of water at 24 °C is 23 mm Hg.)arrow_forwardA sample of hydrogen is collected by displacing a sample of water with a temperature of 35C. The mixture has a total pressure of 114 kPa. What is the partial pressure of the dry hydrogen in kPa?arrow_forwardNatural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6). A typical mixture might have mole fraction of methane = 0.915 and mole fraction of ethane = 0.085. (a) What are the partial pressure of the two gases in a 14.10 L container of natural gas at 30 degrees Celcius and 1.34 atm? (b) Assuming complete combustion of both gases in the natural gas sample, what is the total mass of water formed? Hint: Write the balanced combustion chemical equation for each gas separately in the gas mixture to find the mass of water formed.arrow_forward
