In the gas mixture containing 88 grams of oxygen gas, 88 grams of nitrogen gas, and 12 grams of nitrogen dioxide gas, what is the mole fraction of nitrogen gas?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.51

Explanation:

[tex]= 0.51[/tex]The mole fraction of the nitrogen gas would be as follows:

[tex]0.51[/tex]

Find the mole fraction?

Given that,

Amount of oxygen gas in a mixture [tex]= 88g[/tex]

Amount of Nitrogen gas in a mixture [tex]= 88g[/tex]

Amount of Nitrogen Dioxide gas in a mixture [tex]= 12g[/tex]

Now,

The moles of [tex]O_{2}[/tex] [tex]= 88/32[/tex]

[tex]= 2.75 moles[/tex]

The moles of [tex]N_{2}[/tex] [tex]= 88/28[/tex]

[tex]= 3.14[/tex] moles

The moles of:

[tex]NO_{2} = 12/46\\= 0.261[/tex]

So,

The total moles [tex]= 2.75 + 3.14 + 0.261[/tex]

[tex]= 6.151 moles[/tex]

Mole fraction of [tex]N_{2} =[/tex] No. of  [tex]N_{2}[/tex] moles/Total moles

[tex]= 3.14/6.151[/tex]

[tex]= 0.51[/tex]

Thus, [tex]0.51[/tex] is the correct answer.
