I suppose you mean to ask why we can't go through obstacles.

Any atom is surrounded by an electronic cloud. When two atoms get close to each other, the electronic clouds repel each other, preventing them from interpenetrating each other. That same phenomenon, on a larger scale, prevents us from going through matter.

A mixture of 15.0 g of the anesthetic halothane (C2HBrClF3 197.4 g/mol) and 22.6 g of oxygen gas has a total pressure of 862 tor

AlexFokin [52]

Answer : The partial pressure of $C_2HBrClF_3$ and $O_2$ are, 84 torr and 778 torr respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $C_2HBrClF_3$ = 15.0 g

Mass of $O_2$ = 22.6 g

Molar mass of $C_2HBrClF_3$ = 197.4 g/mole

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 32 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $C_2HBrClF_3$ and $O_2$ .

$\text{Moles of }C_2HBrClF_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_2HBrClF_3}{\text{Molar mass of }C_2HBrClF_3}=\frac{15.0g}{197.4g/mole}=0.0759mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }O_2}{\text{Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{22.6g}{32g/mole}=0.706mole$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of $C_2HBrClF_3$ and $O_2$ .

$\text{Mole fraction of }C_2HBrClF_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }C_2HBrClF_3}{\text{Moles of }C_2HBrClF_3+\text{Moles of }O_2}=\frac{0.0759}{0.0759+0.706}=0.0971$
