Solution
Given:
mO2 = 70.6 g,
mNe = 167.5 g,
PTotal = 25 bar
To find: Partial pressure of each gas
Formula: P1 = x1 × PTotal
Calculation:
Determine number of moles (n) of each gas using formula:
n = `"m"/"M"`
∴ nO2 = `(70.6 "g")/(32 "g mol"^-1)` = 2.206 mol
nNe = `(167.5 "g")/(20 "g mol"^-1)` = 8.375 mol
Determine the mole fraction of each gas using the formula:
x = `"n"/("n"_"Total")`
`""^"x""O"_2=(""^"n""O"_2)/(""^"n""O"_2+"n"_"Ne")=(2.206 "mol")/((2.206+8.375) "mol")=(2.206 "mol")/(10.581 "mol")=0.208`
xNe = `("n"_"Ne")/("n"_"Total")=(8.375 "mol")/(10.581 "mol")` = 0.792
Calculate the partial pressure of each gas:
PO2 = xO2 × PTotal = 0.208 × 25 bar = 5.2 bar
PNe = xNe × PTotal = 0.792 × 25 bar = 19.8 bar
The partial pressure of dioxygen and neon are 5.2 bar and 19.8 bar respectively.
