Mole fractions of
Concept Introduction:
Dolton’s law of partial pressure gives relation between total pressure of mixture of gases and partial pressure of individual gases. The expression of relation can be represented as follows:
Here,
A and B are individual gases.
Mole fraction is a relation between moles of constituent and total moles of all constituent in mixture. The expression of relation can be represented as follows:
Here,
(b)
Interpretation:
Partial pressure of

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- How many liters of HCI gas, measured at 30.0 C and 745 torr, are required to prepare 1.25 L of a 3.20-M solution of hydrochloric acid?arrow_forward5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?arrow_forwardIn the Mthode Champenoise, grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL grape juice (density = 1.0 g/cm3) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in H2O (actually, a wrong assumption), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25C? (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm3.)arrow_forward
