Question

The pressure exerted by a non-reactive gaseous mixture of 6.4 g of methane and 8.8 g of carbon dioxide in a 10 L vessel at 27oC is _____kPa. (Round off to the Nearest Integer). [Assume gases are ideal, R=8.314 J mol1K1.
Atomic masses: C: 12.0 u, H : 1.0 u, O : 16.0 u]

Solution

Volume, V=10 LTemperature, T=27oC=300 K

Mass (m)methane=6.4 gMass(m)CO2=8.8 g
Mole of methane=6.416=0.4 mol
Mole of carbon dioxide=8.844=0.2 mol
PV=ntotalRT

P×102=(0.4+0.2)×8.314×300

P=149652PaP=149.652 kPa150kPa
