Chapter 10, Problem 10.81SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{4}}$, ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}$, ${\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_8$ and ${\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}$ is to be determined for each gas.

Concept introduction:

The expression to calculate partial pressure due to mole fraction is as follows:

$P=X\cdot P_{\text{total}}$

Where,

• $P_{\text{total}}$ denotes the total pressure exerted by the mixture of gases.
• $P$ denotes the partial pressure.
• $X$ denotes mole fraction.
