Find gas pressure of 2.5 moles h2 and 4.6 moles ne at 1400mmhg.

can i just p=nrt? but how?
. you.

Pressure of neon = 1.17 atm

Pressure of hydrogen = 0.63 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of H₂ = 2.5 mol

Number of moles of Ne = 4.6 mol

Total pressure = 1400 mmHg (1400/760 = 1.8 atm)

Solution:

We will solve this problem through mole fraction method.

Total number of moles = 2.5 + 4.6 = 7.1

Mole fraction of H₂                                         Mole fraction of Ne

2.5 mol/7.1 mol= 0.35                                     4.6mol/7.1mol = 0.65

Pressure of hydrogen = 0.35 × 1.8 atm

Pressure of hydrogen = 0.63 atm

Pressure of neon = 0.65 × 1.8 atm

Pressure of neon = 1.17 atm

Total pressure which is already given is sum of partial pressure of hydrogen and neon gas.

0.63 atm + 1.17 atm = 1.8 atm

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
