What are the mole fraction and the partial pressure of each gas?

What is the mole fraction?

  • What is the mole fraction of each component of a gas mixture that contains sulfur hexafluoride at a pressure of 2.01 atms and diphosphorus pentoxide at a pressure of 1.03 atms? Please show work so that I may understand how to do the problem thanks!

  • Answer:

    Mole fraction is the number of moles of what you are concerned with divided by the total moles in the system. Now for your particular question, understand that pressure is directly related to moles, and thus you would have 2.01/(2.01 + 1.03) for the mole fraction of SF6 and 1.03/(2.01 + 1.03) for the mole fraction of P2O5
