Suppose a gas mixture used for anesthesia contains 4.60 mol oxygen (O₂) and 6.00 mol nitrous oxide (N₂O). The total pressure of

the mixture is 2.00 atm. A mole fraction is defined as the moles of a specific component divided by the total number of moles present. What is the mole fraction of O₂ in this mixture?

Considering the definition of mole fraction, the mole fraction of O₂ in the mixture is 0.434.

<h3>Definition of mole fraction</h3>

The molar fraction is a way of measuring the concentration that expresses the proportion in which a substance is found with respect to the total moles of the solution.

In other words, the mole fraction expresses the concentration of solute in a solution as the ratio of moles of substance to total moles of solution:

mole fraction=\frac{moles of substance}{moles of solution}

<h3>Mole fraction of O₂ in this mixture</h3>

In this case, you know a gas mixture used for anesthesia contains 4.60 mol oxygen (O₂) and 6.00 mol nitrous oxide (N₂O).

So, the total moles of the solution can be calculated as:

Total moles = moles of oxygen (O₂) + moles of nitrous oxide (N₂O)

Then:

Total moles= 4.60 moles + 6 moles

Total moles= 10.60 moles

Finally, the more fraction of O₂ can be calculated as follow:

Mole fraction of O_{2} =\frac{moles of O_{2}}{total moles}

Mole fraction of O_{2} =\frac{4.60 moles}{10.6o moles}

Solving:

<u><em>Mole fraction O₂ = 0.434</em></u>

Finally, the mole fraction of O₂ in the mixture is 0.434.

What principal quantum number refers to:
docker41 [41]
The principle quantum number "n" represents the relative overall energy of each orbital, and the energy of each orbital increases as the distance from the nucleus increases. The sets of orbitals with the same "n" value are often referred to as electron shells or energy levels.

Zn(s)+S(s)-ZnS(s)<br> What is the product and physical state
Yuki888 [10]
<span> The Reactants are Zinc (Zn) and Sulfur (S).
The Product is Zinc Sulfide (ZnS).
All of them are solids.
The combined masses of the reactants must be 14 grams, too. Later in Chemistry you'll learn that's not really true, but it is for now.
Hope This Helps:)
