A mixture containing $0.40\text{ mol}$ of neon and $0.10\text{ mol}$ of argon is collected over water at $27^\circ\text{C}$ . If the partial pressure of neon in the dry gas mixture is $196.0\text{ kPa}$ and the saturated vapor pressure of water at $27^\circ\text{C}$ is $4.0\text{ kPa}$ , what is the total pressure of the wet gas mixture?

$249.0\text{ kPa}$ Cevap
B
$245.0\text{ kPa}$
C
$241.0\text{ kPa}$
D
$200.0\text{ kPa}$

Cevap

The total pressure of the wet gas mixture is

249.0\text{ kPa}

The total dry gas pressure is calculated from the partial pressure of neon and its mole fraction (

0.80

), yielding

245.0\text{ kPa}

. Adding the saturated vapor pressure of water (

4.0\text{ kPa}

) gives the total pressure of the wet gas as

249.0\text{ kPa}

Adım Adım Çözüm

Calculate total moles of dry gas and the mole fraction of neon.

Total dry moles

= 0.40\text{ mol} + 0.10\text{ mol} = 0.50\text{ mol}

. Mole fraction of neon

\chi_{\text{Ne}} = 0.40 / 0.50 = 0.80

Dalton's Law states that partial pressure is proportional to mole fraction in a dry gas mixture.

Calculate the total pressure of the dry gas mixture.

P_{\text{dry total}} = P_{\text{Ne}} / \chi_{\text{Ne}} = 196.0\text{ kPa} / 0.80 = 245.0\text{ kPa}

Rearranging

P_{\text{Ne}} = \chi_{\text{Ne}} \times P_{\text{dry total}}

yields the total dry pressure.

Calculate the total pressure of the wet gas mixture collected over water.

P_{\text{total}} = P_{\text{dry total}} + P_{\text{H}_2\text{O}} = 245.0\text{ kPa} + 4.0\text{ kPa} = 249.0\text{ kPa}

Gas collected over water is saturated with water vapor, so total pressure is the sum of dry gas pressure and saturated vapor pressure of water.
