Question

A mixture of 14.2 g of H2 and 36.7 g of Ar is placed in a 100.0 L container at

Answer 1

a) The total pressure of the system is  1.79 atm

b) The mole fraction and partial pressure of hydrogen is  0.89 and 1.59 atm respectively

c) The mole fraction and the partial pressure  of argon is 0.11 and 0.19 atm.

What is the total pressure?

We know tat we can be able to obtain the total pressure in the system by the use of the ideal gas equation. We would have from the equation;

PV = nRT

P = pressure

V = volume

n = Number of moles

R = gas constant

T = temperature

Number of moles of hydrogen = 14.2 g/2g = 7.1 moles

Number of moles of Argon = 36.7 g/40 g/mol

= 0.92 moles

Total number of moles =  7.1 moles + 0.92 moles = 8.02 moles

Then;

P = nRT/V

P = 8.02 * 0.082 * 273/100

P = 1.79 atm

Mole fraction of hydrogen = 7.1/8.02 = 0.89

Partial pressure of hydrogen =  0.89 * 1.79 atm

= 1.59 atm

Mole fraction of argon = 0.92 / 8.02

= 0.11

Partial pressure of argon = 0.11  *  1.79 atm

= 0.19 atm
