Answer:

[N₂] = 0.032 M

[O₂] = 0.0086 M

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Law → P . V = n .  R . T

We assume that the mixture of air occupies a volume of 1 L

78% N₂ → Mole fraction of N₂ = 0.78

21% O₂  → Mole fraction of O₂ = 0.21

1% another gases  → Mole fraction of another gases = 0.01

In a mixture, the total pressure of the system refers to total moles of the mixture

1 atm . 1L = n . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K

n = 1 L.atm / 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K → 0.0409 moles

We apply the mole fraction to determine the moles

N₂ moles / Total moles = 0.78 → 0.78 . 0.0409 mol = 0.032 moles N₂

O₂ moles / Total moles = 0.21 → 0.21 . 0.0409 mol = 0.0086 moles O₂
