Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The partial pressure of each gas in the vessel has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Partial Pressure:
Dalton’s law of partial pressure states that “the total pressure (P) of the mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures
The
Mole Fraction:
Ideal gas equation is an equation that is describing the state of an imaginary ideal gas.
Where,
P is the pressure of the gas
V is the volume
n is the number of moles of gas
R is the universal gas constant
T is the temperature
(b)
Interpretation:
The percent of the

- You 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_forward93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)arrow_forwardYou have an equimolar mixture of the gases SO2 and O2, along with some He, in a container fitted with a piston. The density of this mixture at STP is 1.924 g/L. Assume ideal behavior and constant temperature and pressure. a. What is the mole fraction of He in the original mixture? b. The SO2 and O2 react to completion to form SO3. What is the density of the gas mixture after the reaction is complete?arrow_forward
