A 10 litre flask at 298xK contains a gaseous mixture of CO and CO2 at a total pressure of 2xatm. If 0.20xmole of CO is present find its partial pressure and also that of CO2.

Solution
Total moles = PVRT
=2×10298×0.0821
=0.8174
Moles of CO2=0.8174−0.2=0.6174
Partial pressure of CO= XCO×2=0.20.8174×2=0.4893atm
