At 0 degrees C, a 1.0-L flask contains 5.0×10−2 mol N2, 1.5×102 mg O2, and 5.0×1021 molecules of NH3. What is the partial pressure of each gas, and what is the total pressure in the flask?

Expert Solution
Step 1 Objective

Given, volume of flask V =1.0 Ltemperature T =0°C =273.15 Knumber of moles of N2 =5.0×10-2 mol =0.05 molmass of O2 =1.5×102 mg =150 mg =0.15 gramnumber of molecules of NH3 =5.0×1021we are asked to calculate the partial pressure of each gas and the totalpressure in flask.Now, the number of moles of O2 and NH3 are,No. of moles of O2 =mass of O2molar mass of O2 No. of moles of O2  =0.15 gram32 gmol =0.00468 molagain, we know from mole concept,6.023×1023 molecules of NH3 =1 mol of NH3so, 1 molecules  of NH3 =16.023×1023 mol of NH3thus, 5.0×1021 molecules  of NH3 = 5.0×1021×16.023×1023 mol of NH3                                                                =0.83015×1021-23 mol of NH3                                                               = 0.0083 mol of NH3
