Given 0.60 mol CO2, 0.30 mol CO, and 0.10 mol H20, what is the partial pressure of the CO if the total pressure of the mixture was 0.80 atm?

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

/ means divided by

* means multiply

1. formula is

partial pressure = no of moles(gas 1)/ no of moles(total)

0.30 mol CO/0.60 mol CO2 + 0.30 mol CO + 0.10 mol H20 ->

.3/(.6+.3+.1) =

.3/1 =

.3 =

partial pressure of CO

2.

.3 * .8 atm = .24

The partial pressure of the CO is 0.24 atm if the total pressure of the mixture was 0.80 atm.

Dalton's Law of Partial pressure

Dalton's Law of partial pressure states that the total pressure exerted by non reacting gaseous mixture at a constant temperature and given volume is equal to the sum of partial pressure of all gases.

Dalton's Law of partial pressure using mole fraction of gas

Partial pressure of carbon monoxide (CO) = Mole fraction of carbon monoxide (CO) × Total pressure

Now, we have to find the first mole fraction of CO

Mole fraction of carbon monoxide (CO) = [tex]\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{total moles of solute}}[/tex]

                                                                  = [tex]\frac{\text{moles of CO}}{\text{moles of CO}_2 + \text{moles of CO} + \text{moles of H}_{2}O}[/tex]

                                                                  = [tex]\frac{0.30}{0.60 + 0.30 + 0.10}[/tex]

                                                                  = [tex]\frac{0.30}{1}[/tex]

                                                                  = 0.3

Now, put the value in above equation, we get that

Partial pressure of carbon monoxide (CO)

= Mole fraction of carbon monoxide (CO) × Total pressure

= 0.3 × 0.8

= 0.24 atm

Thus, the partial pressure of the CO is 0.24 atm is the total pressure of the mixture was 0.80 atm.
