What is the mole fraction of $NO$ in a 55.0 L gas cylinder at 30.0°C which comes from a mixture of $N_2$ and $NO$ if you have 3.238 mol of $N_2$ and the gas cylinder has a total pressure of 2.14 atm?

Your strategy here will be to use the equation in order to find the total number of moles present in the mixture, then use the number of moles of nitrogen gas to determine the mole fraction of nitric oxide.

So, the equation looks like this

$color(blue)(PV = nRT)" "$, where

$P$ - the pressure of the gas
$V$ - the volume it occupies
$n$ - the number of moles of gas
$R$ - the universal gas constant, usually given as $0.0821("atm" * "L")/("mol" * "K")$
$T$ - the temperature of the gas, expressed in Kelvin

Plug in your values and solve for $n$ to get

$PV = nRT implies n = (PV)/(RT)$

$n = (2.14 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("atm"))) * 55.0color(red)(cancel(color(black)("L"))))/(0.0821 (color(red)(cancel(color(black)("atm"))) * color(red)(cancel(color(black)("L"))))/("mol" * color(red)(cancel(color(black)("K")))) * (273.15 + 30.0)color(red)(cancel(color(black)("K")))) = "4.729 moles"$

Since the mixture only contains nitric oxide and nitrogen gas, it follows that the number of moles of nitric acid will be equal to

$n_"total" = n_(NO) + n_(N_2)$

$n_(NO) = 4.729 - 3.238 = "1.491 moles NO"$

Now, the mole fraction of nitric oxide will be equal to the number of moles of nitric oxide divided by the total number of moles present in the mixture.

$chi_"NO" = n_"NO"/n_"total"$

In this case, you have

$chi_"NO" = (1.491 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("moles"))))/(4.729 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("moles")))) = color(green)(0.315)$

The answer is rounded to three .

A gas mixture contains 1.19 g $N_2$ and 0.79 g $O_2$ in a 1.60-L container at 25 deg C. How do you calculate the mole fraction of $N_2$?

$chi_i=(n_i)/(n_"total")$. Now $n_"total"=(1.19*g)/(28.01*g*mol^-1)+(0.79*g)/(32.00*g*mol^-1)$ $=6.67xx10^-2*mol$ And $chi_"dinitrogen"$ $=$ $((1.19*g)/(28.01*g*mol^-1))/(6.67xx10^-2*mol)=0.64$. Given that it is a binary system, what is $chi_"dioxygen"?$ Note that the information given with respect to $"volume"$ and $"temperature"$...

The partial pressures of the gases in a miture are 0.00461 atm $O_2$, 1.78 atm $N_2$, and 0.975 atm $Ar$. What is the total pressure of the mixture?

$P_"Total"=P_(O_2)+P_(N_2)+ P_(Ar)$ $=(4.61xx10^-2 + 1.78+0.975)*atm$ $~=2.76*atm$ This is a simple result of $"Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure"$, for which

Nitrogen gas (N2) reacts with hydrogen gas (H2) to form ammonia (NH3). At 200°C in a closed container, 1.05 atm of nitrogen gas is mixed with 2.02 atm of hydrogen gas. At equilibrium the total pressure is 2.02 atm. What is the partial pressure of hydrogen gas at equilibrium?

First, write the balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium and set up an ICE table. $color(white)(XXXXXX)"N"_2 color(white)(X)+color(white)(X)"3H"_2 color(white)(l)⇌ color(white)(l)"2NH"_3$ $"I/atm": color(white)(Xll)1.05 color(white)(XXXl)2.02 color(white)(XXXll)0$ $"C/atm": color(white)(X)-x color(white)(XXX)-3x color(white)(XX)+2x$ $"E/atm": color(white)(l)1.05- x...
