Answer:
[tex]N_{2} O_{4}[/tex] : 0.5 atm and [tex]N_{} O_{2}[/tex] : 1 atm
Explanation:
In order to calculate the partial pressure for each gas , all you need to do is multiply the mole fraction of each gas with the total pressure.
It is given that [tex]P_{total}[/tex] = 1.5 atm
The mole fraction of each gas can be calculated in the following way:
[tex]N_{2} O_{4}[/tex] = moles of [tex]N_{2} O_{4}[/tex] ÷ total moles present = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]N_{} O_{2}[/tex] = moles of [tex]N_{} O_{2}[/tex] ÷ total moles present = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Partial pressure of [tex]N_{2} O_{4}[/tex] : 1.5 × [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = 0.5 atm
Partial pressure of [tex]N_{} O_{2}[/tex] : 1.5 × [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = 1 atm
Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
