A mixture of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas has a total pressure of l13 atm If the partial pressure of oxygen is 043 atm what is the partial pressure of nitrogena class=

Respuesta :

C
0.70

I hope this is help, I’m so so sorry if I’m incorrect

Answer:

0.70 atm - Option C

Explanation:

Let's apply the mole fraction concept to solve this:

Partial pressure of a gas / Total pressure = Mole fraction of a gas.

In a mixture, sum of mole fraction from each gas = 1

Partial pressure of Oâ‚‚ / Total pressure = Mole fraction of Oâ‚‚

0.43 atm / 1.13 atm = 0.380

1 - 0.380 = 0.62 → Mole fraction N₂

Mole fraction Nâ‚‚ = Partial pressure Nâ‚‚ / Total pressure

0.62 = Partial Pressure Nâ‚‚ / 1.13 atm

0.62 . 1.13 = 0.70 atm → Partial Pressure N₂
