A vessel of volume 22.4 dm³ contains 2.0 mol H₂ and 1.0 mol N₂ at 273.15K. Calculate (a) the mole fractions
of each component, (b) their partial pressures, and (c) their total pressure.
Transcribed Image Text:A vessel of volume 22.4 dm³ contains 2.0 mol H₂ and 1.0 mol N₂ at 273.15K. Calculate (a) the mole fractions of each component, (b) their partial pressures, and (c) their total pressure.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Number of moles of H2 = 2.0 mol

 Number of moles of N2 = 1.0 mol

Total number of moles = 2.0+ 1.0 = 3.0 mol

Mole fraction of H2 = moles of H2 / total moles = 2.0 mol / 3.0 mol = 0.66667

Mole fraction of N2 = moles of N2 / total moles = 1.0 mol / 3.0 mol = 0.33333
