Question

A mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas exerts a total pressure of 3.456 atm on the walls of its container. If the Hydrogen gas has a mole fraction of 0.667, find the partial pressure of the oxygen gas.

Answer 1

Partial pressure of Hydrogen $= 3.456× 0.667 = 2.305152$ atm

Partial pressure of Oxygen $=3.456-2.305152=1.150848$ atm
