A balloon contains 2.0 mol H2, 2.0mol N2 and 6.0 mol He at 273.15K. If the balloon floats at a location where air pressure is 0.78 atm, what is the partial pressure of N2 PN2 (unit: Torr)? Please write your answer with 2 decimals, as 200.23
no of moles of H2 nH2 = 2 moles
no of moles of N2 nN2 = 2 moles
no of moles of He n He = 6 moles
total no of moles = nH2 +nN2 +nHe = 2+2+ 6 = 10 moles
mole fraction of N2 XN2 = nN2/nH2 +nN2 +nHe
= 2/10 = 0.2
pertial pressure of N2 PN2 = XN2 * total pressure
= 0.2 *0.78 = 0.16atm >>>>answer
