Q. The mole percent of oxygen gas present in gaseous mixture containing 14.0 gm of nitrogen and 32.0 gm of oxygen is:
(a) 50. (b) 33.3. (c)66.6. (d) 40.
Given mass of nitrogen = 14g
Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g
Given mass of oxygen = 32g
Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32g
No of moles of oxygen in the mixture, X1 =massofoxygenmolarmassofoxygen=3232=1
No of moles of Nitrogen in the mixture, X2 =massofnitrogen(molemassofnitrogen=1428=0.5
Mole percent of oxygen =X1X1+X2×100=11+0.5×100=1001.5=66.66%
