Chapter 11.7, Problem 13PPA
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mole fraction and partial pressure of CO2,CH4andHe has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

  • Dalton's law of partial pressure states to the sum of the partial pressure exerted each component of the mixture the total pressure exerted by a gas mixture.

PTotal=Pgas 1+Pgas 2+Pgas 3....

  • A mole fraction is a unitless expression.  It is just a number of moles of a single component that is divided by total number of moles of considered solution.
    • χi=PiPtotal

To determine: The mole fraction and partial pressure of CO2,CH4andHe

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 13PPA

Solution:

The mole fraction of CO2 is 0.0495

The mole fraction of CH4 is 0.695

The mole fraction of He is 0.695

The partial pressure of CO2 is 0.286atm

The partial pressure of CH4 is 1.47atm

The partial pressure of He is 4.02atm

Explanation of Solution

Given,

The total pressure is 5.78 atm

The mole fraction and partial pressure of CO2,CH4andHe is calculated below

To find the total moles of gas sample is sum of the moles of each component of the mixture

nTotal=nCO2+nCH4+nHe=(0.25mol+1.29mol+3.51mol)=5.05mol

To find the mole fraction of CO2

χCO2=nCO2ntotal=1.250mol5.05mol=0.0495

To find the mole fraction of CH4

χCH4=nCH4ntotal=1.29mol5.05mol=0.255

To find the mole fraction of He

χHe=nHentotal=3.51mol5.05mol=0.695

The partial pressure of each gas component in the mixture is the total pressure multiplied by its mole fraction

To find the partial pressure of CO2

PCO2=χCO2Ptotal=0.0495×5.78atm=0.286atm

To find the partial pressure of CH4

PCH4=χCH4Ptotal=0.255×5.78atm=1.47atm

To find the partial pressure of He

PHe=χHePtotal=0.695×5.78atm=4.02atm

Conclusion

The mole fraction and partial pressure of CO2,CH4andHe was determined.
