States of Matter - Result Question 1

####1. A mixture of N2 and Ar gases in a cylinder contains 7g of N2 and 8g of Ar. If the total pressure of the mixture of the gases in the cylinder is 27 bar, the partial pressure of N2 is: [Use atomic masses (in g mol-1): N=14,Ar=40 ]

(a) 12 bar

(b) 15 bar

(c) 18 bar

(d) 9 bar

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b) nN2=728=14=0.25

nAr =840=15=0.20

Now, applying Dalton’s law of partial pressure,

pN2= mole fraction of N2PTotal 

0.250.45×27=59×27=15 bar
