Equal weights of ethane and hydrogen are mixed in an empty vessel at 25 degree celsius. Calculate the fraction of the total pressure exerted by hydrogen.
Let x g of each gas is mixed.
Molar mass of ethane = 30 g/mol
Molar mass of hydrogen = 2 g/mol
Mole = Given mass/Molar mass
Moles of ethane = (x/30) mol
Moles of hydrogen = (x/2) mol
So, the fraction of total pressure exerted by hydrogen is 15:16.
