Answer:
P(N₂) = 4.02 atm
Explanation:
Number of moles of O₂ = 4 mol
Number of moles of N₂ = 8 mol
Total pressure = 6 atm
Partial pressure of N₂ = ?
Solution:
We will calculate the partial pressure by using mole friction.
P(N₂) = X(N₂)P(total)
X(N₂) = mol friction = moles of N₂ / total number of moles
X(N₂) = 8 mol / 12 mol = 0.67
Partial pressure of N₂:
P(N₂) = X(N₂)P(total)
P(N₂) = 0.67 × 6 atm
P(N₂) = 4.02 atm
