A 1.40 L sample of O2 at 645 Torr and 25 Ā°C, and a 0.751 L sample of N2 at 1.13 atm and 25 Ā°C, are both transferred to the same 2.00 L container at 25 Ā°C. What are the partial pressures of the two gases and the total pressure inside the 2.00 L container? Show your work.

Answer:

  • P(Oā‚‚) = 0.595 atm
  • P(Nā‚‚) = 0.424 atm
  • Total Pressure = 1.019 atm

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use PV=nRT for both gases in their containers, in order to calculate the moles of each one:

  • Oā‚‚:

645 Torr ā‡’ 645 /760 = 0.85 atm

25Ā°C ā‡’ 25 + 273.16 = 298.16 K

0.85 atm * 1.40 L = n * 0.082 atmĀ·LĀ·molā»Ā¹Ā·Kā»Ā¹ *298.16 K

n = 0.0487 mol Oā‚‚

  • Nā‚‚:

1.13 atm * 0.751 L = n * 0.082 atmĀ·LĀ·molā»Ā¹Ā·Kā»Ā¹ *298.16 K

n = 0.0347 mol Nā‚‚

Now we can calculate the partial pressure for each gas in the new container, because the number of moles did not change:

  • Oā‚‚:

P(Oā‚‚) * 2.00 L = 0.0487 mol Oā‚‚ * 0.082 atmĀ·LĀ·molā»Ā¹Ā·Kā»Ā¹ *298.16 K

P(Oā‚‚) = 0.595 atm

  • Nā‚‚:

P(Nā‚‚) * 2.00 L = 0.0347 mol Nā‚‚ * 0.082 atmĀ·LĀ·molā»Ā¹Ā·Kā»Ā¹ *298.16 K

P(Nā‚‚) = 0.424 atm

Finally we add the partial pressures of all gases to calculate the total pressure:

  • Pt = 0.595 atm+ 0.424 atm = 1.019 atm
