Question

A container has N and Cl gases. If the mole fraction of N is 0.750 and it exerts 0.800 atm of pressure, what is the total pressure inside the container?

Answer 1

Answer: The total pressure inside the container is 1.07 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total pressure of the container, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

`p_(N)=p_T* \chi_(N)`

where,

`p_N` = partial pressure of nitrogen = 0.800 atm

`p_T` = total pressure

`\chi_N` = mole fraction of nitrogen = 0.750

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`0.800atm=p_T* 0.750\\\\\p_T=(0.800atm)/(0.750)=1.07atm`

Hence, the total pressure inside the container is 1.07 atm
