Consider this molecular‑level representation of a mixture of gases. There are three gas particles containing two spheres. There are six gas particles containing a single sphere of a different color. There are five gas particles containing a single sphere of a third color. If the partial pressure of the diatomic gas is 0.330 atm, what is the total pressure?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        Number of particles of diatomic gas = 3

        Number of particles of monoatomic gas  = 6

       Number of particles of another monoatomic gas  = 5

Therefore, total number of particles or moles present will be as follows.

                      3 + 6 + 5 = 14

As we know that, mole fraction = [tex]\frac{\text{moles of given substance}}{\text{total no. of moles}}[/tex]

Hence, more fraction of the diatomic gas will be as follows.

                 mole fraction = [tex]\frac{\text{moles of given substance}}{\text{total no. of moles}}[/tex]

                                     = [tex]\frac{3}{14}[/tex]

                                     = 0.21

Now, formula to calculate partial pressure will be as follows.

  Partial pressure of one species = molar fraction of that species x total pressure

Therefore,   [tex]P_{diatomic} = \text{mole fraction diatomic} \times P_{total}[/tex]

               [tex]P_{total} = \frac{0.330 atm}{0.21}[/tex]

                            = 1.57 atm

Thus, we can conclude that total pressure is 1.57 atm.

The total pressure of the gaseous mixture is 1.57 atm.

The mixture of the gases consists of 3 diatomic molecules, 6 monoatomic molecules, and 5 other monoatomic molecules.

The total number of molecules in the mixture are:

[tex]\rm Total\;molecules\;=\;3+6+5\\Total\;molecules\;=\;14[/tex]

Computation for the total pressure of the gas

The total pressure of a gas by Raoult's law is given as:

[tex]\rm Total\;pressure=\dfrac{Partial\;pressure}{Mole\;fraction}[/tex]

The partial pressure of the diatomic gas is 0.330 atm.

The mole fraction of the diatomic gas is given as:

[tex]\rm Mole\;fraction=\dfrac{Molecules\;of\;diatomic\;gas}{Total\;molecules} \\\\Mole\;fraction=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\ Mole\;fraction=0.2[/tex]

The mole fraction of the diatomic gas is 0.2.

The total pressure of the gas is given as:

[tex]\rm Total\;pressure=\dfrac{0.330}{0.2}\;atm\\\\ Total\;pressure=1.57\;atm[/tex]

The total pressure of the gaseous mixture is 1.57 atm.
