Answer to Question #170509 in General Chemistry for Maddy Brown

Question

A mixture of gases contains 3.39 g of N2, 7.35 g of H2, and 7.84 g of NH3. If the total pressure of the mixture is 2.86 atm, what is the partial pressure of each component?

1) P N2 = atm

2) P H2 = atm

3) P NH3 = atm

Answer 1

1) p N₂ =$\frac{1}{4}×2.86=0.715$

2) p H₂ = $\frac{3}{4}×2.86=2.145$
