The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
A 7.00 L tank at is filled with 5.43 g of sulfur hexafluoride gas and 14.2 g of sulfur tetrafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions. Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of each gas. Round each of your answers to significant digits.
<u>Answer:</u> The mole fraction of sulfur hexafluoride is 0.221 and that of sulfur tetrafluoride is 0.779
<u>Explanation:</u>
The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:
......(1)
- <u>For sulfur hexafluoride:</u>
Given mass of sulfur hexafluoride = 5.43 g
Molar mass of sulfur hexafluoride = 146.06 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
- <u>For sulfur tetrafluoride:</u>
Given mass of sulfur tetrafluoride = 14.2 g
Molar mass of sulfur tetrafluoride = 108.07 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
Total moles of gas in the tank = [0.0372+ 0.1314] mol = 0.1686 mol
Mole fraction is defined as the moles of a component present in the total moles of a solution. It is given by the equation:
.....(2)
where n is the number of moles
Putting values in equation 2, we get:
Hence, the mole fraction of sulfur hexafluoride is 0.221 and that of sulfur tetrafluoride is 0.779
