Agas mixture contains 0.150 mol of oxygen ( o 2 ) gas, 0.419mol of nitrogen ( n 2 ) gas. and 0.211 mol of argon ( ar ) gas in a 0.250l flask at 298k . what is the total pressure of the mixture?

77.3 bar

Explanation:

We can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the individual gas pressures and then use Dalton’s Law of Partial pressures to calculate the total pressure.

Step 1. Calculate the individual gas pressures.

pV = nRT   Divide both sides by V

p = (nRT)/V = n(RT/V)

For ease of typing, let’s call oxygen Gas 1, nitrogen Gas 2, and argon Gas 3.

For all three gases,

R = 0.083 14 bar·L·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 298 K

V = 0.250 L

Let’s calculate the value of (RT)/V.

(RT)/V = (0.083 14 × 298)/0.250

(RT)/V = 24.78/0.250

(RT)/V = 99.10 bar·mol⁻¹

So,

p = 99.10n            Calculate p₁

———

p₁ = 99.10 × 0.150

p₁ = 14.87 bar     Calculate p₂

———

p₂ = 99.10 × 0.419

p₂ = 41.52 bar     Calculate p₃

———

p₃ = 99.10 × 0.211

p₃ = 20.91 bar

Step 2. Calculate the total pressure

According to Dalton’s Law,

p = p₁ + p₂ + p₃

p = 14.87 + 41.52 + 20.91

p = 77.3 bar

pure water does not conduct electricity very well. however, when certain substances are dissolved in water, the solution does conduct electricity. you can make a simple device that shows how well a solution conducts electricity. this device uses a flashlight bulb to indicate how well the solution conducts electricity. the better the solution conducts electricity, the brighter the bulb will glow.
