Problem

A 10.0 L rigid cylinder at 320 K contains a gaseous mixture of CO₂(g), N₂(g), and O₂(g). The amounts of the gases are 0.60 mol CO₂, 0.90 mol N₂, and 0.50 mol O₂. The mixture behaves ideally, and the total pressure in the cylinder is 5.20 atm. (a) Calculate the total number of moles of gas present. (b) Determine the mole fraction of O₂(g) in the mixture. (c) Calculate the partial pressure of O₂(g) in the cylinder.
