Answer:

Mass percent N₂ = 89%

Mass percent H₂ = 11%

Explanation:

First we <u>use PV=nRT to calculate n</u>, which is the total number of moles of nitrogen and hydrogen:

  • 1.03 atm * 7.45 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 305 K
  • n = 0.307 mol

So now we know that

  • MolH₂ + MolN₂ = 0.307 mol

and

  • MolH₂ * 2 g/mol + MolN₂ * 28 g/mol = 3.49 g

So we have a <u>system of two equations and two unknowns</u>. We use algebra to solve it:

Express MolH₂ in terms of MolN₂:

  • MolH₂ + MolN₂ = 0.307 mol
  • MolH₂ = 0.307 - MolN₂

Replace that value in the second equation:

  • MolH₂ * 2 g/mol + MolN₂ * 28 g/mol = 3.49
  • (0.307-MolN₂) * 2 + MolN₂ * 28 = 3.49
  • 0.614 - 2MolN₂ + 28molN₂ = 3.49
  • 0.614 + 26MolN₂ = 3.49
  • MolN₂ = 0.111 mol

Now we calculate MolH₂:

  • MolH₂ + MolN₂ = 0.307 mol
  • MolH₂ + 0.111 = 0.307
  • MolH₂ = 0.196 mol

Finally, we convert each of those mol numbers to mass, to <u>calculate the mass percent</u>:

  • N₂ ⇒ 0.111 mol * 28 g/mol = 3.108 g N₂
  • H₂ ⇒ 0.196 mol * 2 g/mol = 0.392 g H₂

Mass % N₂ = 3.108/3.49 * 100% = 89.05% ≅ 89%

Mass % H₂ = 0.392/3.49 * 100% = 11.15% ≅ 11%
