Explanation / Answer

using ideak gas equation

PV=nRT ;

P =nRT/V; = (1.45/40) X 0.0821 X 298

P = 0.887 atm

hence partial pressure of Ar = 0.887 atm

and that of ethane = 1.05 - 0.887 = 0.163 atm

9)

36.8 % by mass = 36.8 g of N2 in 100 g of mixture ......hence it has 63.2 g of O2

or moles of N2 = 36.8 / 28 = 1.314

moles of O2 = 63.2 / 32 = 1.975

hence mole fraction of O2 = moles of O2/ (moles of O2 + moles of N2)

= 1.975 / (1.975 + 1.314) = 0.6

hence mole fraction of N2 = 1-0.6 = 0.4

acc to daltons law of partial pressures

PO2 = XO2 x Ptotal

= 0.6 X 305

= 183 mmHg

13)

assuming that the O2 behaves as ideal gas and pressure remains same inside the syringe ( by expecting that there is no leaking of O2)

hence

PV=nRT

or

PV1 = nRT1 ......(1)

PV2 = nRT2.......(2)

dividing (2)/(1)

V2/V1 = T2/T1

V2/1.71 = 273.5/365.1

V2 = 1.28 ml
