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 27C is ____kPa
(Round off to the Nearest Integer).
[Assume gases are ideal, R=8.314 J mol1 K1
Atomic masses : C=12.0 u, H:1.0 u, O:16.0 u]

Solution

Number of moles of CH4=6.416=0.4 mol
Number of moles CO2=8.844=0.2 mol
Total number of moles of the mixture=0.6 mol
Pressure of the mixture of gases in 10 L (0.01 m3) vessel at 300 K is given as:
P=nRTV=0.6×8.314×3000.01=149652 Pa150 kPa
