The partial pressures of CH₄,N₂,and O₂ in a sample of a gas mixture were found to be 191 mm Hg,451 mm Hg,and 583 mm Hg,respectively.Calculate the mole fraction of nitrogen. A) 1 B) 0. C) 20.8 D) 0.. E) 0

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mole fraction of nitrogen is calculated by dividing the partial pressure of nitrogen by the total pressure of the gas mixture. Total pressure = 191 + 451 + 583 = 1225 mm Hg. Mole fraction of N2 = 451 / 1225 = 0.368.
