A gas mixture contains 0.700 mol of N2, 0.300 mol of H2, and 0.400 mol of CH4. Calculate the pressure of the gas mixture and the partial pressure of each constituent gas if the mixture is in a 8.00 L vessel at 27.00°C

Respuesta :

Answer:

Pressure of the gas mixture: 4.30 atm

Partial pressure Nâ‚‚ = 2.15 atm

Partial pressure H₂ =  0.91 atm

Partial pressure CHâ‚„ = 1.23 atm

Explanation:

To determine partial pressure we sum the total moles in order to find out the total pressure

We can work with mole fraction

We apply the Ideal Gases Law

0.700 Nâ‚‚ + 0.300 Hâ‚‚ + 0.400 CHâ‚„ = 1.4 moles

We replace data  → P . V = n . R .T

T° must be at K →  27  °C + 273 = 300 K

P . 8 L = 1.4 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K  . 300 K

P = ( 1.4 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K  . 300 K) / 8 L = 4.30 atm (Total pressure)

We apply the mol the fraction for the partial pressure

Moles x gas / total moles = partial pressure x gas / total pressure

Mole fraction N₂ → 0.700 /1.4 = 0.5

Partial pressure Nâ‚‚ = 0.5 . 4.30 atm =2.15 atm

Mole fraction H₂  →  0.300 / 1.4 = 0.21

Partial pressure Hâ‚‚ = 0.21 . 4.30 atm = 0.91 atm

Mole fraction CH₄ → 0.400 /1.4 = 0.28

Partial pressure CHâ‚„ = 0.28 . 4.30 atm =1.23 atm

A. The pressure of the gas mixture is 4.31 atm

B. The partial pressure of Nâ‚‚ is 2.16 atm

C. The partial pressure of Hâ‚‚ is 0.92 atm

D. The partial pressure of CHâ‚„ is 1.23 atm

A. Determination of the pressure of the gas mixture

Mole of Nâ‚‚ = 0.7 mole

Mole of Hâ‚‚ = 0.3 mole

Mole of CHâ‚„ = 0.4 mole

Total mole (n) = 0.7 + 0.3 + 0.4 = 1.4 mole

Volume (V) = 8 L

Temperature (T) = 27 °C = 27 + 273 = 300 K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Pressure (P) =?

PV = nRT

P × 8 = 1.4 × 0.0821 × 300

P × 8 = 34.482

Divide both side by 8

P = 34.482 / 8

P = 4.31 atm

Thus, the pressure of the gas mixture is 4.31 atm

B. Determination of the partial pressure of Nâ‚‚

Total mole = 1.4 mole

Total pressure = 4.31 atm

Mole of Nâ‚‚ = 0.7 mole

Partial pressure of Nâ‚‚ =?

[tex]partial \: pressure = \frac{mole}{total \: mole} \times total \: pressure \\ \\ = \frac{0.7}{1.4} \times 4.31 \\ \\ [/tex]

Partial pressure of Nâ‚‚ = 2.16 atm

C. Determination of the partial pressure of Hâ‚‚

Mole of Hâ‚‚ = 0.3 mole

Total mole = 1.4 mole

Total pressure = 4.31 atm

Partial pressure of Hâ‚‚ =?

[tex]partial \: pressure = \frac{mole}{total \: mole} \times total \: pressure \\ \\ = \frac{0.3}{1.4} \times 4.31 \\ \\ [/tex]

Partial pressure of Hâ‚‚ = 0.92 atm

D. Determination of the partial pressure of CHâ‚„

Partial pressure of Nâ‚‚ = 2.16 atm

Partial pressure of Hâ‚‚ = 0.92 atm

Total pressure = 4.31 atm

Partial pressure of CHâ‚„ =?

Partial pressure of CH₄ = Total pressure – (Partial of N₂ + Partial pressure of H₂

Partial pressure of CH₄ = 4.31 – (2.16 + 0.92)

Partial pressure of CHâ‚„ = 1.23 atm
