Question
If 56 g N2 and 64 g CH4 are mixed with 80 g SO3 gas, then mole fraction of CH4 is
Solution
To find the mole fraction of CH4, we first need to find the number of moles of each gas.
-
The molar mass of N2 (Nitrogen) is approximately 28 g/mol, CH4 (Methane) is approximately 16 g/mol, and SO3 (Sulfur trioxide) is approximately 80 g/mol.
-
Calculate the number of moles for each gas:
- Moles of N2 = 56 g / 28 g/mol = 2 moles
- Moles of CH4 = 64 g / 16 g/mol = 4 moles
- Moles of SO3 = 80 g / 80 g/mol = 1 mole
-
Calculate the total number of moles:
- Total moles = Moles of N2 + Moles of CH4 + Moles of SO3
- Total moles = 2 moles + 4 moles + 1 mole = 7 moles
-
Calculate the mole fraction of CH4:
- Mole fraction of CH4 = Moles of CH4 / Total moles
- Mole fraction of CH4 = 4 moles / 7 moles = 0.57 (rounded to two decimal places)
So, the mole fraction of CH4 is 0.57.
