Chapter 7, Problem 7.64EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of each gas present in the given mixture under there is an equal number of moles of each gas present has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Dalton’s law provides the information about partial pressures states of mixture of gases.  This law says that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the total sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases present in the mixture.  The mathematical expression for this law can be shown as follows,

${\text{P}}_{\text{Total}}\text{ = P1 + P2 + P3 +}\cdot \cdot \cdot$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of each gas present in the given mixture under there is an equal number of atoms of each gas present has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Dalton’s law provides the information about partial pressures states of mixture of gases.  This law says that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the total sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases present in the mixture.  The mathematical expression for this law can be shown as follows,

${\text{P}}_{\text{Total}}\text{ = P1 + P2 + P3 +}\cdot \cdot \cdot$

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of each gas present in the given mixture under the partial pressures of $\text{Ar, Kr, and Xe are in a 2:1:3 ratio}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Dalton’s law provides the information about partial pressures states of mixture of gases.  This law says that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the total sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases present in the mixture.  The mathematical expression for this law can be shown as follows,

${\text{P}}_{\text{Total}}\text{ = P1 + P2 + P3 +}\cdot \cdot \cdot$

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of each gas presents in the given mixture under the partial pressure of $\text{Ar is twice that of Kr }$ and $\text{three times that of Xe}$ has to be determined.
