A gaseous mixture was prepared by taking equal mole of CO and N2. The total pressure of the mixture was found 1 atmosphere, the partial pressure of the nitrogen (N2) in the mixture is:

Question

Accepted Answer

0.5 atm. In a gaseous mixture, the partial pressure of a gas is proportional to its mole fraction. Since equal moles of CO and N2 are present, their mole fractions are both 0.5. Thus, the partial pressure of N2 is 0.5 × total pressure = 0.5 atm.
