Trimix is a general name for a type of gas blend used by technical divers and contains nitrogen, oxygen and helium. In one Trimi

x blend, the partial pressures of each gas are 55.0 atm oxygen, 90.0 atm nitrogen, and 50.0 atm helium. What is the percent oxygen (by volume) in this trimex blend

Answer:

The correct answer is 28.2 %.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the partial pressures of the gases present in the trimix blend is 55 atm oxygen, 50 atm helium, and 90 atm nitrogen. Therefore, the sum of the partial pressure of gases present in the blend is,  

Ptotal = PO2 + PN2 + PHe

= 55 + 90 + 50

= 195 atm

The percent volume of each gas in the trimix blend can be determined by using the Amagat's law of additive volume, that is, %Vx = (Px/Ptot) * 100

Here Px is the partial pressure of the gas, Ptot is the total pressure and % is the volume of the gas. Now,  

%VO2 = (55/195) * 100 = 28.2%

%VN2 = (90/195) * 100 = 46%

%VHe = (50/195) * 100 = 25.64%

Hence, the percent oxygen by volume present in the blend is 28.2 %.
