Hi Sister,

Here is your answer,

Moles of CH₄,

nCH₄= Mass of CH₄/Molar mass of CH₄  [ Molar mass of CH₄] = 12+4×1= 16

3.2/16 = 0.2 mol

Moles of CO₂

nCO₂ = 4.4/44 = 0.1 mol [ Molar mass of CO₂ = 12+2 ×16=44]

Total moles = 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3 mol

pV=nRT 

Pressure, P=nRT/V

0.3 mol × 0.0821 dm³ atm K power -1 mol power -1 × 300 K/ 9 dm³ = 0.0821 atm

In terms of SI unit 

Pressure,p = 0.3 mol × 8.314 Pa m³ K power -1 mol power -1 × 300/ 9×10⁻³ m³ 

Therefore, p= 8.314×10 power 4 Pa.



Hope it helps you!


kvnmurty: is the volume right? Chk answer
kvnmurty: need to modify
Anonymous: Sir i have checked it throughly i am the getting the same answer !
kvnmurty: dm = 0.9 m... dm^3 = 0.9^3 m^3
Anonymous: sir you mean to say my answer is wrong sir?
kvnmurty: Think so
Anonymous: actually i have asked my chemistry teacher she told that volume is correct !
Anonymous: you are right @cbsedelhi
Anonymous: volume should be taken in dm³ not in m³ coz 1dm³ = 1 l (standard unit )

Let's apply Ideal gas law: P V = n R T

T = 300°K.
V = 9 dm^3 = 9 * 10⁻³ m³ or  9 L

Molecular mass of Methane: CH4 =16.
                of Carbon Dioxide CO2 = 44.

Total Number of moles of the gases in the mixture:
          n = n1 + n2
             = 3.2/16 + 4.4/44
             = 0.3 mol

R = 8.318 J/°K
P = n R T / V
    = 0.3 mol × 8.314 J/°K/mol × 300°K / 0.009m³ 

P = 0.8314 bar  or  8.314 * 10⁴ Pa   or 0.83 atm

   We can also calculate the partial pressure exerted by Methane and Carbon DIoxide individually. .

      P1 = n1/(n1+n2) * P
      P2 = n2/(n1+n2) *P
