Solution Steps

Step 1: Counting the molecules of each gas

From the image, there are 14 molecules of N₂ (blue) and 3 molecules of O₂ (red). The total number of molecules is 14 + 3 = 17.

Step 2: Calculating the mole fraction of each gas

Mole fraction is calculated by dividing the number of molecules of a specific gas by the total number of molecules.

  • Mole fraction of N₂: 14/17 = 0.824
  • Mole fraction of O₂: 3/17 = 0.176
Step 3: Calculating the partial pressure of each gas

Partial pressure is calculated by multiplying the mole fraction of a gas by the total pressure. The total pressure is given as 2.00 atm.

  • Partial pressure of N₂: (0.824) * (2.00 atm) = 1.65 atm
  • Partial pressure of O₂: (0.176) * (2.00 atm) = 0.352 atm

Final Answer:

  • N₂: mole fraction = 0.824, partial pressure = 1.65 atm
  • O₂: mole fraction = 0.176, partial pressure = 0.352 atm
