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 Ar = \(\cfrac{10.0}{39.948}\) = 0.25 mole Number of moles of Kr = \(\cfrac{32.1}{83.79}\) = 0.38 mole Number of moles of CO2 \(\cfrac{14.2}{44}\) = 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 CO2 = (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 CO2 will be 0.442 atm, 0.680 atm and 0.578 atm respectively |
