Answer» PV = n RT= (m/M) RTWhere P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles R is a constanet and T is the kelvin temperature,m is the mass of gas and M is the molecular weight of the gas.Now we know that M= dRT /P =1.15 x .0821 x 300/ 740 /760 = 29.07gmol-1Now take W1is the mass fraction of nitrogen and 1-W1is the mass fraction of oxygenNow we get W1*28 + (1 - W1)32 = 29.07Now solving the above equation we get-4W1= -2.94So W1= 0.70So % of nitrogen is 70 by weight of the airhence option 3 is answer |
