Questions and Answers

What is the sum of the pressures created by the gases in a mixture, according to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures?

Ptotal = P1 × P2 × P3 × ... × Pn

Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + ... + Pn (correct)

Ptotal = P1 - P2 - P3 - ... - Pn

Ptotal = P1 / P2 / P3 / ... / Pn

What is the mole fraction of a gas in a mixture, in Dalton's Law?

Xi = P1 / n

Xi = P1 / Ptotal

Xi = P1 / (P1 + P2 + ... + Pn) (correct)

Xi = Ptotal / P1

What is the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture, according to Dalton's Law?

P1 = Xi / Ptotal

P1 = Xi - Ptotal

P1 = Xi + Ptotal

P1 = Xi × Ptotal (correct)

Study Notes

Ideal Gases

Gas molecules are in constant random motion with no intermolecular forces, except during collisions.
Each gas acts as if it were present alone, on average, the net effect of collisions with other molecules is zero.

Graham's Law of Effusion and Diffusion

The ratio of root-mean-square velocities of two gases is equal to the square root of the ratio of their molar masses or densities.
This law explains the rates of effusion and diffusion of gases.
Graham's law is the basis for separating gases, such as the isotopes of uranium (UF6).

Real Gases

Real gases deviate from ideal gas behavior due to intermolecular forces and molecular size.
Real gases are commonly encountered in industrial and laboratory settings.

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

The total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas.
Each gas contributes to the total pressure as if the other gases were not present.
Partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is equal to the product of the total pressure and the mole fraction of the gas.

Combined Gas Law

The combined gas law is derived by combining Boyle's, Charles', and Gay-Lussac's laws.
The combined gas law is: PV1 / T1 = PV2 / T2.

Ideal Gas Law

The ideal gas law is: PV = nRT = NKT.
It is a combination of the ideal gas laws of Boyle, Charles, and Gay-Lussac.
R is the universal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of gas.
