The partial pressure of each gas in a mixture is proportional to its mole fraction.

n = m / M

M (CO) = 28 g/mol

M (CO2) = 44 g/mol

M (CH4) = 16.04 g/mol

n (CO) = 4 / 28 = 0.14 mol

n (CO2) = 11 / 44 = 0.25 mol

n (CH4) = 2 / 16.04 = 0.13 mol

Sum of n = 0.14 + 0.25 + 0.13 = 0.52 moles

CO mole fraction = 0.14 / 0.52 = 0.27

CO2 mole fraction = 0.25 / 0.52 = 0.48

CH4 mole fraction = 0.13 / 0.52 = 0.25

If 85.0 L of natural gas, which is essentially methane (CH4), undergoes complete combustion at STP, how many Liters of CO2 is produced CH4 + O2 → CO2+ H2O

From the equation 1 mole of CH4 produces 1 mole of CO2 Molar Mass of CH4 = 16.04 g/mol= 85 L = 85000 g / 16.04= 5299.252 moles Molar Mass...

The partial pressure of gas X is 340 mm Hg. The partial pressure of gas Y is 264 mm Hg. The partial pressure of gas Z is 100 torr. What is the total pressure exerted by the gases in this system?

According to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure;Pt= Px +Py+ Pz = (340+264+100)mmHg (since 1torr=1mmHg) = 704mmHg

The partial pressure of Ch4(g) is 0.145 atm and that of O2(g) is 0.200 atm in a mixture of the two gases. What is the mole fraction of each gas in the mixture?

p_i/p_total =x_i=n_i/n_total , where x_i- mole fraction. x_(〖CH〗_4 )= (0.145 atm)/((0.145+0.200) atm)×100%=42.0%; x_(O_2 )=(0.200 atm)/((0.145+0.200) atm)×100%=58.0%. Answer: x_(〖CH〗_4 )=42.0%; x_(O_2 )=58.0%.
