A gaseous mixture consisting of nitrogen, argon, and oxygen is in a 3.5-L vessel at 25C. Determine the number of moles of oxygen if the total pressure is 98.5kPa and the partial pressure of nitrogen and argon are 22.0kPa and 50.0kPa, respectively.

Answer:

Number of moles of oxygen = 0.037  mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Total pressure = 98.5 KPa

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 22.0 KPa

Partial pressure of argon = 50.0 KPa

Volume = 3.5 L

Temperature = 25°C (25+273= 298K)

Number of moles of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Total pressure = P(N₂) + P(O₂) + P(Ar)

98.5 KPa = 22.0 KPa +P(O₂) + 50.0 KPa

98.5 KPa = 72.0 KPa +P(O₂)

P(O₂)  = 98.5 KPa - 72.0 KPa

P(O₂)  = 26.5 KPa

KPa to atm:

26.5 KPa/ 101 = 0.262 atm

Number of moles of oxygen:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 0.262 atm × 3.5 L / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K  × 298 K

n = 0.917atm.L /24.47atm.L/ mol

n = 0.037  mol
