Question

equal masses of methane and mixed in an empty container at 25°C . the fraction of total pressure exerted by oxygen is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, the fraction of the total pressure exerted by oxygen is 31.

Explanation:

The fraction of total pressure exerted by oxygen will be equal to mole fraction of oxygen gas present in mixture of CH

4

and O

2

.

Partial pressure of a component = Mole fraction × total pressure

Partial pressure of O

2

/ Total pressure = mole fraction of O

2

=

(m/32+m/16)

(m/32)

=1/3
