a) 0.4atm b) 6.0 atm c) 4.0 d) 0.6 atm e) 40 atm
This is probably very easy, I just can't remember as I learned it a long time ago.
So if you could explain how to do it so that I can do similar problems as well, that would be great. Thanks so much and 10 points to a best answer!4.0 mole He + 6.0 mole N2 = 10 moles
4.0 mole / 10 mole = mole fraction of He (= 0.40)
0.40 x 10 atm = 4 atm from He
6.0 mole / 10 mole = mole fraction of N2 (= 0.60)
0.60 x 10 atm = 6 atm from N2Answer is C..... B/C
The mole fraction of an individual gas component in an ideal gas mixture can be expressed in terms of the component's partial pressure or the moles of the component
xi =Pi/P = ni/n
and the partial pressure of an individual gas component in an ideal gas can be obtained using this expression:
Pi= xi *P
where:
xi = mole fraction of any individual gas component in a gas mixture
Pi = partial pressure of any individual gas component in a gas mixture
ni = moles of any individual gas component in a gas mixture
n = total moles of the gas mixture
P = pressure of the gas mixture
