Answer:
John Dalton's Atomic Model Below ⬇
Explanation:
Answer:
the mole fraction of Gas B is xB= 0.612 (61.2%)
Explanation:
Assuming ideal gas behaviour of A and B, then
pA*V=nA*R*T
pB*V=nB*R*T
where
V= volume = 10 L
T= temperature= 25°C= 298 K
pA and pB= partial pressures of A and B respectively = 5 atm and 7.89 atm
R= ideal gas constant = 0.082 atm*L/(mol*K)
therefore
nA= (pA*V)/(R*T) = 5 atm* 10 L /(0.082 atm*L/(mol*K) * 298 K) = 2.04 mole
nB= (pB*V)/(R*T) = 7.89 atm* 10 L /(0.082 atm*L/(mol*K) * 298 K) = 3.22 mole
therefore the total number of moles is
n = nA +nB= 2.04 mole + 3.22 mole = 5.26 mole
the mole fraction of Gas B is then
xB= nB/n= 3.22 mole/5.26 mole = 0.612
xB= 0.612
Note
another way to obtain it is through Dalton's law
P=pB*xB , P = pA+pB → xB = pB/(pA+pB) = 7.69 atm/( 5 atm + 7.89 atm) = 0.612
The SI base units and their physical quantities are the metre for measurement of length, the kilogram for mass, the second for time, the ampere for electric current, the kelvin for temperature, the candela for luminous intensity, and the mole for amount of substance.
