Three gases (8.00 g of methane, CH4, 18.0 g of ethane, C2H6, and an unknown amount of propane, C3H8) were added to the same 10.0

-L container. At 23.0 ∘C, the total pressure in the container is 5.00 atm . Calculate the partial pressure of each gas in the container.

Answer:

Partial pressure of methane: 1.18 atm

Partial pressure of ethane: 1.45 atm

Partial pressure of propane: 2.35 atm

Explanation:

Let the total moles of gases in a container be n.

Total pressure of the gases in a container =P = 5.0 atm

Temperature of the gases in a container =T = 23°C = 296.15 K

Volume of the container = V = 10.0 L

PV=nRT (Ideal gas equation)

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{5.0 atm\times 10.0 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 296.15 K}=2.0564 mol

Moles of methane gas =n_1=\frac{8.00 g}{16.04 g/mol}=0.4878 mol

Moles of ethane gas =n_2=\frac{18.00 g}{30.07 g/mol}=0.5986 mol

Moles of propane gas =n_3=?

n=n_1+n_2+n_3

n_3=n-n_1-n_2=2.0564 mol-0.4878 mol-0.5986 mol= 0.9700 mol

Partial pressure of all the gases can be calculated by using Raoult's law:

p_i=P\times \chi_i

p_i = partial pressure of 'i' component.

\chi_1 = mole fraction of 'i' component in mixture

P = total pressure of the mixture

Partial pressure of methane:

p_1=P\times \chi_1=P\times \frac{n_1}{n_1+n+2+n_3}=P\times \frac{n_1}{n}

p_1=5.00 atm\times \frac{0.4878 mol}{2.0564 mol}=1.18 atm

Partial pressure of ethane:

p_2=P\times \chi_2=P\times \frac{n_2}{n_1+n+2+n_3}=P\times \frac{n_2}{n}

p_2=5.00 atm\times \frac{0.5986 mol}{2.0564 mol}=1.45 atm

Partial pressure of propane:

p_3=P\times \chi_3=P\times \frac{n_3}{n_1+n+2+n_3}=P\times \frac{n_3}{n}

p_3=5.00 atm\times \frac{0.9700 mol}{2.0564 mol}=2.35 atm

What volume (in milliliters) of oxygen gas is required to react with 4.03 g of Mg at STP?
BigorU [14]
Mg reaction with O₂ gas will produce MgO so the equation will be
2Mg+O₂⇒2MgO. (You have to find the equation in order two figure out the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 1 mole of MgO).

The first step is to find the number of moles of Mg in 4.03g of Mg.  You can do this by dividing 4.03g Mg by its molar mass (which is 24.3g/mol) to get 0.1658mol Mg.  Then you have to find the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 0.1658mol Mg.  To do this you need to use the fact that 1mol O₂ will react with 2mol Mg (this reatio is from the chemical equation) so you have to multiply 0.1658mol Mg by (1mol O₂)/(2mol Mg) to get 0.0829mol O₂.  From here you would usually use PV=nRT and solve for V However, the question tells us that we are at STP, that means you can use the fact that 22.4L of gas is 1 mol of gas at STP.  Using that information we can find the volume of O₂ gas by mulitlying 0.0829mol O₂ by 22.4L/mol to get 1.857L which equals 1857mL.
therefore, 1857mL of O₂ gas will react with 4.03g of Mg.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
