Step 1
Given data
A gas mixture contains -
Nitrogen =75.2%
krypton =24.8%
total pressure is 745 mmHg.
Step 2
Solution-
calculate the mole fraction of the component-
Mole fraction of tha erypton —
X2=moles of the cryptontotal moles of the 3 gas mixture
X2=0.296mol(2.68+0.296)mol=0.0995
partial pressure of the crypton:
total pressure x mole fraction of the crypton
745mmHg×0.0995=74.12mmHg

Step 1
Given:
Mass of nitrogen =75.2 g (75.2% by mass)
Mass of krypton =24.8 g (24.8% by mass)
Total pressure =745 mm Hg
Step 2
To determine the partial pressure of krypton as follows,
Molar mass of nitrogen =28.02gmol
Calculating the moles of nitrogen using the formula,
n1=Mass of nitrogenMolar mass of nitrogen
=75.2g28.02gmol
=2.68mol
Molar mass of krypton =83.80gmol
Calculating the moles of krypton using the formula,
Mass of krypton
n2=Mass of kryptonMolar mass of krypton
=24.8g83.80gmol
=0.296mol
Step 3
To calculate the mole fraction of krypton,
Moles of krypton, X2=Moles of the cryptonTotal moles of gas mixture
=0.296mol(2.68+0.296)mol=0.0995
Partial pressure of krypton =Total pressure * Mole fraction of krypton
Substituting the values in the above formula,
Partial pressure of krypton =745mmHg*0.0995=74.1mmHg
Hence, the partial pressure of krypton in the given mixture is 74.1mmHg .

Let's denote the partial pressure of krypton as Pkrypton.
According to the problem, the total pressure (Ptotal) is given as 745 mm Hg.
We know that the partial pressure of a component is directly proportional to its mole fraction in the mixture. The mole fraction (X) is calculated by dividing the mass fraction of the component by its molar mass divided by the total molar mass of the mixture.
The mole fraction of krypton can be calculated as follows:
Xkrypton=mass fraction of kryptonmolar mass of krypton=24.8%molar mass of krypton×total molar mass of the mixture100%
Similarly, the mole fraction of nitrogen is:
Xnitrogen=75.2%molar mass of nitrogen×total molar mass of the mixture100%
Since the total mole fraction of the mixture is equal to 1, we have:
Xkrypton+Xnitrogen=1
Now we can express the partial pressure of krypton in terms of the total pressure:
Pkrypton=Xkrypton×Ptotal
Substituting the expressions for Xkrypton and Xnitrogen:
Pkrypton=(24.8%molar mass of krypton×total molar mass of the mixture100%)×Ptotal
Now you can substitute the specific values for the molar masses and calculate the partial pressure of krypton.

Answer:
73.361 mm Hg
Explanation:
To find the mole fraction of each component, we need to convert the mass of each component to moles. The molar mass of nitrogen (N2) is 28.02g/mol, and the molar mass of krypton (Kr) is 83.8g/mol.
The number of moles of nitrogen (nN2) can be calculated using the formula:
nN2=mass of nitrogenmolar mass of nitrogen
Substituting the values, we get:
nN2=75.2g28.02g/mol
Similarly, the number of moles of krypton (nKr) can be calculated using the formula:
nKr=mass of kryptonmolar mass of krypton
Substituting the values, we get:
nKr=24.8g83.8g/mol
Now, we can calculate the mole fraction of each component:
The mole fraction of nitrogen (xN2) is given by:
xN2=nN2nN2+nKr
Substituting the calculated values of nN2 and nKr, we get:
xN2=75.2g28.02g/mol75.2g28.02g/mol+24.8g83.8g/mol
Simplifying the expression, we find:
xN2=75.2×83.875.2×83.8+24.8×28.02
The mole fraction of krypton (xKr) can be calculated as:
xKr=1xN2
Substituting the value of xN2, we get:
xKr=175.2×83.875.2×83.8+24.8×28.02
Now, let's calculate the partial pressure of krypton (PKr). The total pressure of the mixture is given as 745 mm Hg. The partial pressure of krypton is related to its mole fraction as follows:
PKr=xKr×total pressure
Substituting the values, we get:
PKr=(175.2×83.875.2×83.8+24.8×28.02)×745mm Hg
Simplifying the expression further:
PKr=(16293.766293.76+694.496)×745mm Hg
PKr=(16293.766988.256)×745mm Hg
PKr=(10.90147)×745mm Hg
PKr=0.09853×745mm Hg
Finally, evaluating the expression:
PKr=73.361mm Hg
Therefore, the partial pressure of krypton in the gas mixture is 73.361 mm Hg.
