A container has N and Cl gases. If the mole fraction of N is 0.750 and it exerts 0.800 atm of pressure, what is the total pressure inside the container?

Respuesta :

Answer: The total pressure inside the container is 1.07 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the total pressure of the container, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

[tex]p_{N}=p_T\times \chi_{N}[/tex]

where,

[tex]p_N[/tex] = partial pressure of nitrogen = 0.800 atm

[tex]p_T[/tex] = total pressure

[tex]\chi_N[/tex] = mole fraction of nitrogen = 0.750

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]0.800atm=p_T\times 0.750\\\\\p_T=\frac{0.800atm}{0.750}=1.07atm[/tex]

Hence, the total pressure inside the container is 1.07 atm
