A volume of 18.0 L contains a mixture of 0.250 mole  N 2 , 0.250 mole O 2 , and an unknown quantity of He . The temperature of the mixture is 0 ∘ C , and the total pressure is 1.00 atm . How many grams of helium are present in the gas mixture?

Respuesta :

Answer : The mass of helium present in the gas mixture are, 1.216 grams.

Solution : Given,

Moles of [tex]N_2[/tex] = 0.25 mole

Moles of [tex]O_2[/tex] = 0.25 mole

Total volume of gas mixture = 18 L

Total pressure of gas mixture = 1 atm

Total temperature of gas mixture = [tex]0^oC=0+273=273K[/tex]

Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mole

First we have to calculate the total moles of mixture of gas.

using ideal gas equation,

[tex]PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

where,

P = total pressure of gas mixture

T = total temperature of gas mixture

n = total mole of gas mixture

V = total volume of gas mixture

R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/moleK

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the total moles of mixture of gas.

[tex]n=\frac{1atm\times 18L}{0.0821Latm/moleK\times 273K}=0.804mole[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the moles of helium gas.

[tex]\text{Total moles of gas mixture}=\text{Moles of }N_2+\text{Moles of }O_2+\text{Moles of }He[/tex]

[tex]0.804=0.25+0.25+\text{Moles of }He[/tex]

[tex]\text{Moles of }He=0.304mole[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the mass of helium.

[tex]\text{Mass of }He=\text{Moles of }He\times \text{Molar mass of }He[/tex]

[tex]\text{Mass of }He=0.304mole\times 4g/mole=1.216g[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of helium present in the gas mixture are, 1.216 grams.

The mass of helium gas that present in the gas mixture is 1.216 grams.

The ideal gas equation

[tex]\bold {pV =n RT}[/tex]

where,

P = total pressure of gas mixture

T = total temperature of gas mixture

n = total mole of gas mixture

V = total volume of gas mixture

R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/moleK

Put the values, and solve it for n,

[tex]\bold {n = \dfrac {1\times 18}{0.0831\times 273}}[/tex]

[tex]\bold {n = 0.804 mol}[/tex]

The number of moles of the helium gas

[tex]\bold {0.804 = 0.25 +0.25 + moles\ of \ helium}\\\\\bold {moles\ of \ helium = 0.304 mol}[/tex]

The mass of the helium gas

[tex]\bold {mHe = 0.304 \times 4}\\\\\bold {mHe = 1.216}[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of helium gas that present in the gas mixture is 1.216 grams.
