Question

A mxiture of n2 and H2 has mole fraction of 0.4 and 0.6 respectively. Determine the density of the mixture at one bar and 0 c.

Answer 1

Answer:

The density of the mixture is 0.55kg/m^3

Explanation:

P = 1bar = 100kN/m^2, T = 0°C = 273K, n = 0.4+0.6 = 1mole

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P = 1×8.314×273/100 = 22.70m^3

Mass of N2 = 0.4×28 = 11.2kg

Mass of H2 = 0.6×2 = 1.2kg

Mass of mixture = 11.2 + 1.2 = 12.4kg

Density of mixture = mass/volume = 12.4/22.7 = 0.55kg/m^3
