When a container is filled with 3.00 moles of H_2, 2.00 moles of O_2, and 1.00 mole of N_2, the pressure in thecontainer is 768 kPa. What is the partial pressure of O_2?
1 Answer
Partial Pressure of
Dalton's law of partial pressures covers two concepts;
- Mole fraction
- Partial pressure
Let's talk about Mole Fraction first.
You have a mixture of
Next, the equation of the partial pressure of a gas can be written as;
Since now we know the mole fraction of
Note:
The total pressure can be calculated using this;
