Chapter 11, Problem 107APP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The partial pressure, in torr, for each of the gas in given sample should be determined.

Concept Introduction: According to the Dalton’s law of partial pressure, the sum of partial pressure of all gaseous components of the mixture is equal to the total pressure of a gaseous mixture. The partial pressure is product of mole fraction of gas and total pressure. Mole fraction can be calculated as:

  $\text{Mole fraction of X component = }\frac{\text{Moles of X }}{\text{Total moles}}$
