Answer:
pN₂ = 695 torr; pO₂ = 625 torr
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the moles of each gas
The molar mass of N₂ is 28.01 g/mol.
56 g × 1 mol/28.01 g = 2.0 mol
The molar mass of O₂ is 32.00 g/mol.
56 g × 1 mol/32.00 g = 1.8 mol
Step 2: Calculate the total number of moles
n = nO₂ + nN₂ = 1.8 mol + 2.0 mol = 3.8 mol
Step 3: Calculate the partial pressure of each gas
We will use the following expressions.
pN₂ = P × X(N₂)
pN₂ = 1320 torr × (2.0 mol/3.8 mol)
pN₂ = 695 torr
pO₂ = P × X(O₂)
pO₂ = 1320 torr × (1.8 mol/3.8 mol)
pO₂ = 625 torr
