Chapter 6, Problem 6.80QE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of oxygen in a container that holds 3.22 mol of oxygen and 4.53 mol of nitrogen has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The net pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of its constituent gases. This is known as Dalton’s law of partial pressure.

The total pressure for a mixture of two gases A and B is calculated as follows:

  PT=PA+PB

In terms of mole fraction the partial pressure is calculated as follows:

  PA=χAPT

Here,

PT denotes the total pressure exerted by the mixture of gases.

χA denotes the mole fraction of component gas A.

PA denotes the pressure exerted by the gaseous component A.

PB denotes the pressure exerted by the gaseous component B.
