Problem
A 10.0 L vessel at 400 K contains a gaseous mixture of 0.300 mol N₂(g) and 0.600 mol CO₂(g). The total pressure inside the vessel is measured to be 3.00 atm.
(a) Determine the mole fraction of each gas present in the mixture.
(b) Calculate the partial pressure exerted by each gas under the given conditions.
(c) After the measurements in parts (a) and (b), 0.200 mol of N₂ are selectively removed from the vessel while the temperature and volume remain constant. Calculate the new total pressure and the new partial pressure of CO₂. Provide a brief explanation for any change or lack of change in the CO₂ partial pressure.
