A gas mixture is made up of Ar (10.0g), CO2 (14.2g) and Kr (32.1g) .The Mixture has volume of 24.5L at 260C. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture and the total pressure of the gas mixture.( Atomic mass of Ar & Kr are 39.948 g/mole, 83.79 g/mole respectively molecular mass of CO2 = 44 g/mole)

Answer»

We have given :

gas mixture made up of 

Ar - 10g

CO2 - 14.2 g

Kr - 32.1 g

Volume of mixture of gases = 24.5 L

Temperature = 260°C or 533 K

Number of moles of A\(\cfrac{10.0}{39.948}\) = 0.25 mole

Number of moles of K\(\cfrac{32.1}{83.79}\) = 0.38 mole

Number of moles of CO\(\cfrac{14.2}{44}\) = 0.32 mole

Total number of mole of gases = 0.32 + 0.38 + 0.25

= 0.95 mole

assume, the mixture of gases follow ideal gases equation 

PV = nRT

= P = \(\cfrac{0.95}{24.5L}\) x 0.082 x 533

= 1.7 atm

mole fraction of Ar = \(\cfrac{0.25}{0.95}\) = 0.26

mole fraction of Kr = \(\cfrac{0.38}{0.95}\) = 0.40

mole fraction of CO2 = \(\cfrac{0.32}{0.95}\) = 0.34 

partial pressure of Ar = (PAr) =  mole fraction x total pressure at Ar

= 0.26 x 1.7 atm

= 0.442 atm

partial pressure of Kr (Pkr) = 0.40 x 1.7 atm 

= 0.68 atm

partial pressure of CO = (CO2) = 0.34 x 1.7 atm

= 0.578 atm

Hence, The total pressure of mixture of gases will be 1.7 atm and partial pressure of Ar, Kr and COwill be 0.442 atm, 0.680 atm and 0.578 atm respectively
