How do you calculate the mole fraction of a gas in a mixture?
How do you calculate the mole fraction of a gas in a mixture?
The mole fraction of a gas is calculated by dividing the number of moles of that gas by the total number of moles in the gas mixture.
What is the relationship between mole fraction and partial pressure?
What is the relationship between mole fraction and partial pressure?
The partial pressure of a gas is equal to the product of its mole fraction and the total pressure of the gas mixture.
Define $K_p$ in the context of gas reactions.
Define $K_p$ in the context of gas reactions.
$K_p$ represents the equilibrium constant for gas-phase reactions, calculated as the product of the partial pressures of the products divided by the product of the partial pressures of the reactants.
If the total pressure of a gas mixture is 2 atm and the mole fraction of gas A is 0.3, what is the partial pressure of gas A?

Study Notes
Mole Fraction and Partial Pressure
- Mole fraction of a gas is the proportion of a molecule compared to the total moles present
- Mole fraction of a gas = (number of moles of A) / (total number of moles in gas mixture)
- Partial pressure is the pressure exerted by one component of a gas mixture
- Partial pressure = (mole fraction of a gas) X (total pressure)
Calculating Kp
- Kp is the product of the partial pressures of products, divided by the product of the partial pressures of reactants.
