A sample of natural gas contains 0.310 moles of methane (CH4), 0.230 moles of ethane (C2H6), and 0.290 moles of propane (C3H8). If the total pressure is 1.55 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of C3H8 only. 1.141 atm 0.741 atm 0.141 atm 0.541 atm
Added by Melissa C.
Step 1
Total moles = moles of CH4 + moles of C2H6 + moles of C3H8 Total moles = 0.310 + 0.230 + 0.290 Now, we can find the mole fraction of C3H8. Mole fraction of C3H8 = moles of C3H8 / total moles Show more…
