A gaseous mixture was prepared by taking equal moles of CO and N ₂ . If the total pressure of the mixture was found 1 atmosphere, the partial pressure of the nitrogen ( N ₂ ) in the mixture is
Options
- A0.8 ~atm
- B0.9 ~atm
- C1 ~atm
- D0.5 ~atm
Correct answer
D. 0.5 ~atm
Step-by-step solution
array rlrl & ^n CO & = ^n ~N ₂ & & p_ CO & =p_ N ₂ Given, & p_ CO +p_ N ₂ & =1 ~atm & or & 2 p_ N ₂ & =1 ~atm or & p_ N ₂ & =0.5 ~atm array
