Chapter 10, Problem 71

At an underwater depth of 100 m, the pressure is 1.106 MPa. What should the partial pressure of oxygen be in the diving gas for the mole fraction of oxygen in the mixture to be 0.21, the same as in air?

Video transcript

Hi everyone. So here we have the pressure of a gas mixture, which is 8.923 pascal. If the mole fraction for Xenon gas is 0.38 or asked what is the partial pressure of Xenon gas? Recall that the pressure pressure? It was a total pressure more fraction of a gas. So for Zenon, we're gonna have the partial pressure of xenon instead of total pressure. The more fraction of xenon the pressure pressure, We have 8.9-3 pascal Time. Did this give us 3.4 pascal the pressure pressure of xenon gas. Thanks for watching my video and I hope it was helpful.

A sample of 5.00 mL of diethylether 1C2H5OC2H5, density = 0.7134 g>mL2 is introduced into a 6.00-L vessel that already contains a mixture of N2 and O2, whose partial pressures are PN2 = 21.08 kPa and PO2 = 76.1 kPa. The temperature is held at 35.0 °C, and the diethylether totally evaporates. (b) Calculate the total pressure in the container.

Textbook Question
A rigid vessel containing a 3:1 mol ratio of carbon dioxide and water vapor is held at 200 °C where it has a total pressure of 202.7 kPa. If the vessel is cooled to 10 °C so that all of the water vapor condenses, what is the pressure of carbon dioxide? Neglect the volume of the liquid water that forms on cooling.
