Answer :
The total pressure inside the cylinder is, 6.7 atm
The mole fraction of in the mixture is, 0.52
Solution :
First we have to calculate the total pressure inside the cylinder.
According to the Dalton's law, the total pressure of the gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the mixture of gasses.
Now put all the given values is expression, we get the total pressure inside the cylinder.
Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of in the mixture.
Formula used :
where,
= total pressure = 6.7 atm
= partial pressure of nitrogen gas = 3.5 atm
= mole fraction of nitrogen gas = ?
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the total pressure inside the cylinder is, 6.7 atm and the mole fraction of in the mixture is, 0.52
