Question

What is the partial pressure of `"CO"_2` in a container that holds 5 moles of `"CO"_2`, 3 moles of `"N"_2`, and 1 mole `"H"_2` and has a total pressure of 1.05 atm?

Answer 1

`p("CO"_2)=0.58"atm"`

Explanation:

`p("CO"_2)="Total pressure"*"Mole fraction of CO"_2=1.05*5/(5+3+1)=1.05*5/9=0.58"atm"`
