Answer:

The mole fraction of N₂ is 0.26.

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

PT = PA + PB

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

Dalton's partial pressure law can also be expressed in terms of the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture. The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the number of moles of all the components present.

So in a mixture of two or more gases, the partial pressure of gas A can be expressed as:

PA = XA * PT

In this case:

  • PA= PN₂= 300 torr
  • XA=XN₂= ?
  • PT= 1.50 atm= 1140 torr (being 1 atm= 760 torr)

Replacing:

300 torr= XN₂*1140 torr

Solving:

X_{N_{2} } =\frac{300 torr}{1140 torr}

XN₂= 0.26

<u><em>The mole fraction of N₂ is 0.26.</em></u>

Consider the reaction between reactants s and o2: 2s(s)+3o2(g)→2so3(g)if a reaction vessel initially contains 7 mols and 9 mol o
nadya68 [22]

Answer: -

1 mol

Explanation: -

Number of moles of Sulphur S = 7

Number of moles of O2 = 9

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2S (s)+3 O2 (g)→2SO3(g)

From the above reaction we can see that

3 mol of O2 react with 2 mol of S

9 mol of O2 will react with \frac{2 mol S x 9 mol O2}{3 mol O2}

= 6 mol of S

Unreacted S = 7 - = 1 mol.

If a reaction vessel initially contains 7 mol S and 9 mol O2

1 mole of s will be in the reaction vessel once the reactants have reacted as much as possible
