Chapter 5, Problem 5.34P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Estimate the partial pressure of each component.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Calculate the mass fraction of methane.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,
