A sealed glass container contains partial pressures of 0.80 atm CO2 gas and 0.35 atm N2 gas. What is the mole fraction of N2 in the glass container? a. 0.35 b. 1.15 c. 0.70 d. 0.80 e. 0.30 24. A sealed glass container contains partial pressures of 0.24 atm O2, 0.45 atm CO2, 0.64 atm N2. and 0.46 atm H2 gas in a 3.5 L container at 30.5 C. What is the total pressure exerted on the walls of the container? a. 1.79 atm b. 6.27 atm c. 0.51 atm d. 1902 atm e. 0.64 atm

Explanation / Answer

All the questions are based on Dalton's law of partial pressures.

According to this law when two or more non-reacting gases are present in a container, the total pressure of the mixture is equal to the sum of partial pressure of the gases.

And partial pressure of a gas = mole fraction x total pressure of mixture

20) moles of H2 = mass/ molar mass

= 8g/2g/mol = 4

moles of Ne = 12g/ 20g/mol

= 0.6

total moles = 4+0.6 =4.6

Thus mole fraction of H2 = moles of H2 / total moles

= 4/4.6 = 0.8695

= 0.87

Thus option D

21) moles of O2 = 0.2

moles of N2 = 0.3

total moles = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

total pressure = 0.75

partial pressure of O2 = moles fraction x total pressure

= [0.2/0.5] x0.75 atm

= 0.3 atm

OPTION B

22)Partial pressure of O2 = 0.24 atm

partial pressure of H2 = 0.46

Total pressure = 0.24 + 0.46 = 0.70 atm

Mole fraction of H2 = partial pressure / total pressure

= 0.46atm/0.70atm

= 0.6570

OPTION D

23)  

parital presssure of CO2 = 0.80 atm

partial pressre of N2 = 0.35 atm

total pressure = 0.80+0.35 = 1.15 atm

mole fraction of N2 = PN2/P total

= 0.35/1.15

= 0.304

OPTION E

24)

Partial pressure of O2= 0.26atm

Partial pressure of CO2= 0.45atm


Partial pressure of N2= 0.64atm


Partial pressure of H2= 0.46atm

Thus total pressure = ).26 + 0.45+ 0.64 + 0.46 atm

= 1.799 atm

OPtion A
