A gaseous mixture consists of 76.0 mole percent N2 and 24.0 mole percent O2 (the approximate composition of air). Suppose water is saturated with the gas mixture at 25°C and 1.00 atm total pressure, and then the gas is expelled from the water by heating. What is the composition in mole fractions of the gas mixture that is expelled? The solubilities of N2 and O2at 25°C and 1.00 atm are 0.0175 g/L H2O and 0.0393 g/L H2O, respectively.

Solutions

Expert Solution

The solubilities of N2 = 0.0175 g/L

molarity of N2 = 0.0175 / 28 = 0.000625

moles = molarity x volume

volume = 1 L

so moles = molarity

moles of N2 = 0.000625

The solubilities of O2 = 0.0393 g/L

molarity of O2 = 0.0393 / 32 = 0.00123

moles of O2 = 0.00123

total moles = moles of N2 + moles of O2 = 0.000625 + 0.00123

                  = 0.001855

mole fraction of N2 = moles of N2 / total moles

                               = 0.000625 / 0.001855

                               = 0.3369

compostion of N2 = 33.69%

mole fraction of O2 = 0.6631

composition of O2 = 66.31%

A gaseous mixture consists of 75 percent methane and 25 percent ethane by mass. 28,000 m3 of this mixture is trapped in a geological formation as natural gas at 150°C and 14 MPa. This natural gas is pumped 2000 m to the surface. At the surface, the gas pressure is 140 kPa and its temperature is 90°C. Using Kay’s rule and the enthalpy-departure charts, calculate the work required to pump this gas.
