If 41.0 g of O2 and 5.6 g of CO2 are placed in a 6.8 L container at 25 oC , what is the pressure of the mixture of gases?
(-----------) atm
Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol
mass(O2)= 41.0 g
use:
number of mol of O2,
n = mass of O2/molar mass of O2
=(41 g)/(32 g/mol)
= 1.281 mol
Molar mass of CO2,
MM = 1*MM(C) + 2*MM(O)
= 1*12.01 + 2*16.0
= 44.01 g/mol
mass(CO2)= 5.6 g
use:
number of mol of CO2,
n = mass of CO2/molar mass of CO2
=(5.6 g)/(44.01 g/mol)
= 0.1272 mol
We have:
total mol of gas = 1.281 mol + 0.1272 mol
= 1.408 mol
V = 6.8 L
T = 25.0 oC
= (25.0+273) K
= 298 K
use:
P * V = n*R*T
P * 6.8 L = 1.408 mol* 0.08206 atm.L/mol.K * 298 K
P = 5.0634 atm
Answer: 5.1 atm
