Concept Introduction:
Total pressure of a flask containing mixture of gases is the sum of individual partial pressures of constituted gases.
A mole fraction of a molecule in a mixture is the ratio of number of moles of particular molecule to the sum of number of moles of all molecules in the mixture.
Equation for mole fraction of a molecule in a mixture of three molecules (A, B and C) is,
M = Molar mass
m = mass.
Ideal gas Equation:
Any gas is described by using four terms namely pressure, volume, temperature and the amount of gas. Thus combining three laws namely Boyle’s, Charles’s Law and Avogadro’s Hypothesis the following equation could be obtained. It is referred as ideal gas equation.
Here,
n = moles of gas
P = Pressure
T = Temperature
R = gas constant

- Given that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardYou have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.arrow_forwardThe density of air 20 km above Earths surface is 92 g/m3. The pressure of the atmosphere is 42 mm Hg, and the temperature is 63 C. (a) What is the average molar mass of the atmosphere at this altitude? (b) If the atmosphere at this altitude consists of only O2 and N2, what is the mole fraction of each gas?arrow_forward
