Molar mass of Sulphur dioxide (SO2) = 32 + 2(16) =64 g/mol
Molar mass of O2 = 32 g
Equal mass of SO2 and O2 are mixed. Let the mass be "x" g
Number of moles of SO2 =
Number of moles of oxygen =
Fraction of total pressure exerted is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the component.
pH2=partial pressure exerted by components=mole fraction total pressure
Hence the fraction of pressure exerted by the SO2=
Fraction of total pressure exerted by oxygen =
