Question

In a flask of volume V litres, 0.2 mol of oxygen, 0.4 mol of nitrogen, 0.1 mol of ammonia and 0.3 mol of helium are enclosed at 27C. If the total pressure exerted by these non-reacting gases is one atmosphere, the partial pressure exerted by nitrogen is :
  1. 0.1 atmosphere
  2. 0.3 atmosphere
  3. 0.4 atmosphere
  4. 0.2 atmosphere

A
0.2 atmosphere
B
0.3 atmosphere
C
0.4 atmosphere
D
0.1 atmosphere
Solution
Verified by Toppr

As we know,
Partial pressure = Mole fraction x total pressure
PN2=XN2×Ptotal
PN2=0.40.2+0.4+0.1+0.3×1=0.4 atm
