A vessel contains 0.3 mole and 1.2 mole of Nitrogen and carbodioxide respectively.if the total pressure due to both gases in 2 atom. Calculate the partial pressure in atom deu to Nitrogen.?

Let:

Nitrogen = a, and Carbon dioxide = b,
Pa= partial pressure of a, Pb= partial pressure of b, and Pt= total pressure.

Pt= 2 atom
Na= 0.3 mole
Nb= 1.2 mole
N= Na + Nb= 1.5 mole.

Pa= (Na/N) Pt

= (0.3/1.5) × 2

= 0.4 atom
