Answer:
Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm
Explanation:
We apply the mole fraction concept to solve this:
Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure
Total moles = 0.3 moles of CO₂ + 0.2706 moles of SO₂ + 0.35 moles H₂O
Total moles = 0.9206 moles
Mole fraction SO₂ = 0.2706 moles / 0.9206 moles → 0.29
Now, we can know the partial pressure:
0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / Total pressure
0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / 1.5 atm
0.29 . 1.5atm = Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm
