Ch.8 Gases

문제 78a

8장, 문제 78a

A mixture of nitrogen (N₂) and helium has a volume of 250 mL at 30 °C and a total pressure of 745 mmHg.
a. If the partial pressure of helium is 32 mmHg, what is the partial pressure of the nitrogen?

검증된 단계별 안내

Step 1: Recall Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, which states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

P

_total = P_He + P_N₂, where

P

_total is the total pressure,

P

_He is the partial pressure of helium, and

P

_N₂ is the partial pressure of nitrogen.

Step 2: Identify the given values from the problem. The total pressure of the gas mixture is

745

mmHg, and the partial pressure of helium is

32

mmHg.

Step 3: Rearrange Dalton's Law equation to solve for the partial pressure of nitrogen:

P

_N₂ = P_total - P_He.

Step 4: Substitute the known values into the equation:

P

_N₂ = 745 - 32 mmHg.

Step 5: Perform the subtraction to determine the partial pressure of nitrogen. The result will give you the value of

P

_N₂ in mmHg.

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

Dalton's Law states that in a mixture of gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas. This principle allows us to calculate the pressure of one gas in a mixture if we know the total pressure and the partial pressures of the other gases present.

Partial Pressure

Partial pressure refers to the pressure that a single gas in a mixture would exert if it occupied the entire volume alone at the same temperature. It is a crucial concept for understanding gas behavior in mixtures and is calculated using the formula: P_partial = P_total - P_other_gases.

Gas Laws

Gas laws describe the relationships between pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles of a gas. In this context, understanding how these variables interact helps in solving problems related to gas mixtures, particularly when applying the ideal gas law or Dalton's Law.
