An evacuated glass bulb weighs 37.9365 g. Filled with dry air at 1 atm pressure and 25°C, it weighs 38.0739 g. Filled with a mixture of methane and ethane, it weighs 38.0347 g. Calculate the percentage of methane in the gas mixture
Added by Ini P.
Step 1
The weight of the dry air can be calculated by subtracting the weight of the evacuated bulb from the weight of the bulb filled with dry air. Weight of dry air = Weight of bulb filled with dry air - Weight of evacuated bulb Weight of dry air = 38.0739 g - 37.9365 Show more…

An evacuated glass bulb has a mass of 45.8454 g. Filled with dry air at 1 atm and 25°C, its mass is 46.0479 g. Filled with a mixture of methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) its mass is 46.0196 g. Calculate the molar fraction of methane in the gas mixture. (Assume air has a molar mass of 29 g/mol and that the pressure and temperature of the gas mixture are the same as when the bulb is filled with air.)

A mixture of methane and ethane is contained in a glass bulb of 500 cm^3 capacity at 25 oC. The pressure is 1.25 bar, and the mass of gas in the bulb is 0.530 g. What is the average molar mass, and what is the mole fraction of methane?
