A gas mixture contains $7.0 \mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{N}_{2}, 2.0 \mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{H}_{2},$ and $16.0 \mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{CH}_{4}$. What is the mole fraction of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ in the mixture? Calculate the pressure of the gas mixture and the partial pressure of each constituent gas if the mixture is in a $1.00 \mathrm{L}$ vessel at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.

Key Concepts

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law, represented by the equation PV = nRT, relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas. It is an essential tool for predicting the behavior of gases under various conditions, assuming the gas behaves ideally.

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

Dalton's Law states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. The partial pressure of each gas is proportional to its mole fraction in the mixture, making it a crucial concept for calculating the contribution of each gas to the overall pressure.

Mass to Mole Conversion

This concept involves converting the mass of a substance to the number of moles using its molar mass. It is fundamental in stoichiometric calculations where the amount of a substance is expressed in moles rather than in grams. The relationship is given by the formula: moles = mass/molar mass.

Mole Fraction

Mole fraction is a way of expressing the concentration of a component in a mixture and is defined as the ratio of the moles of that component to the total moles of all components in the mixture. It is a dimensionless quantity and is useful in calculating properties that depend on the composition of the mixture, such as partial pressures.
