The composition (in mole percent) of the atmosphere is 78.1% N2, 21.0% O2, and 0.9% Ar. What is the partial pressure of each gas when the barometric pressure is 754.1 mm Hg?

N2 = 588.95 mm Hg

O2 = 158.36 mm Hg

Ar = 6.787 mm Hg

Explanation:

Their percentage represents their mole fraction.

N2= 78.1% = 0.781

O2 = 21.0% = 0.21

Ar = 0.9% = 0.009

Barometric pressure is 754.1 mm Hg

Partial pressure for each will be,

For N2 = 0.781 x 754.1 = 588.95 mm Hg

For O2 = 0.21 x 754.1 = 158.36 mm Hg

For Ar = 0.009 x 754.1 = 6.787 mm Hg

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.

a gas, having a molecular weight of 13 kg/kmol and a kinematic viscosity of 0.25 cm2/s, flows through a pipe 0.25 m internal diameter and 5 km long at the rate of 0.4 m3/s and is delivered at atmospheric pressure.
