Answer:
(a) gas c has the highest partial pressure
(b) gas b has the lowest partial pressure
(c) 0.233 atm
Explanation:
In the given figure, the number of atoms of each gas is:
gas a = 4
gas b = 3
gas c = 5
gas [tex]d_{2}[/tex] = 4
Using the total gas pressure of 0.931 atm and the partial pressure of each gas is directly proportional to its mole fraction. Therefore,
Partial pressure of gas a = 4/(4+3+5+4) * 0.931 = 0.233 atm
Partial pressure of gas b = 3/(4+3+5+4) * 0.931 = 0.175 atm
Partial pressure of gas c = 5/(4+3+5+4) * 0.931 = 0.291 atm
Partial pressure of gas [tex]d_{2}[/tex] = 4/(4+3+5+4) * 0.931 = 0.233 atm
(a) gas c has the highest partial pressure
(b) gas b has the lowest partial pressure
(c) 0.233 atm
