Question

A mixture of gases contains 2.08 g of CO, 4.02 g of Xe, and 7.90 g of N2O. What is the partial pressure in atm of each component of this mixture if it is held in a 11.5-L vessel at 14.9 oC? Use R = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K as the value of the gas constant.



a) P(CO) = 20.2 atm, P(Xe) = 8.32 atm, and P(N2O) = 48.8 atm.b) P(CO) = 0.428 atm, P(Xe) = 0.828 atm, and P(N2O) = 1.63 atm.c) P(CO) = 0.153 atm, P(Xe) = 0.0629 atm, and P(N2O) = 0.369 atm.d) P(CO) = 0.234 atm, P(Xe) = 0.121 atm, and P(N2O) = 0.0616 atm.e) P(CO) = 27.7 atm, P(Xe) = 67.1 atm, and P(N2O) = 11.5 atm.
