A mixture of 80.0 g of oxygen and 80.0 g of helium has a total pressure of 0.1800 atm. What is the partial pressure of each gas?

Partial pressure of O₂ =  0.0198 atm

Partial pressure of He = 0.1584 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen = 80.0 g

Mass of helium = 80.0 g

Total pressure = 0.1800 atm

Partial pressure of each gas = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles.

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 80.0 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.5 mol

Number of moles of helium:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 80.0 g/ 4 g/mol

Number of moles = 20 mol

Total number of moles = 20 mol + 2.5 mol = 22.5 mol

Mole fraction of O₂ = 2.5 mol/ 22.5 mol = 0.11

Mole fraction of He = 20 mol / 22.5 mol = 0.88

Partial pressure:

Partial pressure of O₂ =  0.11× 0.1800 atm = 0.0198 atm

Partial pressure of He = 0.88 × 0.1800 atm = 0.1584 atm

they all get energy from eating other animals, dead animals to be more precise.

hienas tends to steal pray from other animals. crows and vultures tend to eat dead animals and leftovers.
