'x' g of molecular oxygen O2 is mixed with 200 g of neon Ne. The total pressure of the nonreactive mixture of O2 and Ne in the cylinder is 25 bar. The partial pressure of Ne is 20 bar at the same temperature and volume. The value of 'x' is

[Given: Molar mass of O2=32 g mol-1. Molar mass of Ne=20 g mol-1]

Solution

Given

O2+Ne

Xgm 200gm

Ptotal=25 bar; PNe=20

According to Dalton's law of partial pressure.

PO2+PNe=25

PO2=25-20=5 bar

Also, PO2 = XO2PT    Where XO2= mole fraction of oxygen gas.
