The mole fraction is a way of expressing the relative proportion of one particular gas within a mixture of gases. We do this by dividing the number of moles of a particular gas i by the total number of moles in the mixture:. What is the mole fraction of neon gas? The partial pressure of one individual gas within the overall mixtures, pi , can be expressed as follows:. A mixture of 2 mol H 2 and 3 mol He exerts a total pressure of 3 atm. What is the partial pressure of He?
Consider a container of fixed volume We inject into that container 0. From the Ideal Gas Law, we can easily calculate the measured pressure of the nitrogen gas to be 0. We now take an identical container of fixed volume The measured pressure of the oxygen gas is 0. The total pressure of this system is the pressure that the gas exerts on the liquid.
The gas is made up of whatever sample of gas there is plus the evaporated water. The pressure of the gas on the liquid consists of the pressure of the evaporated water and the pressure of the gas collected.
Real gases are gases that do not behave ideally. That is, they violate one or more of the rules of the kinetic theory of gases. Real gases behave ideally when the gases are at low pressure and high temperature. For example, if there are forces of attraction between the molecules, the molecules would get closer together and the pressure would be adjusted because the molecules are interacting with each other. The law of partial pressures also applies to the total number of moles if the other values are constant, so.
Explanation Based on the kinetic theory of gases , a gas will diffuse in a container to fill up the space it is in and does not have any forces of attraction between the molecules. Mole Ratio From the partial pressure of a certain gas and the total pressure of a certain mixture, the mole ratio, called Xi, of a gas can be found. Collection of a Gas Over Water The Law of Partial Pressures is commonly applied in looking at the pressure of a closed container of gas and water.
Real Gases Real gases are gases that do not behave ideally. Problems A sample of gas A evaporates over water in a closed system. What is the pressure of gas A if the total pressure is torr and water vapor pressure is 1 atm?

Video transcript - [Instructor] In this video, we're going to introduce ourselves to the idea of partial pressure due to ideal gases. And the way to think about it is imagine some type of a container, and you don't just have one type of gas in that container. You have more than one type of gas. So let's say you have gas one that is in this white color. And obviously, I'm not drawing it to scale, and I'm just drawing those gas molecules moving around.
You have gas two in this yellow color. You have gas three in this blue color. It turns out that people have been able to observe that the total pressure in this system and you could imagine that's being exerted on the inside of the wall, or if you put anything in this container, the pressure, the force per area that would be exerted on that thing is equal to the sum of the pressures contributed from each of these gases or the pressure that each gas would exert on its own.
So this is going to be equal to the partial pressure due to gas one plus the partial pressure due to gas two plus the partial pressure due to gas three.
And this makes sense mathematically from the ideal gas law that we have seen before. Remember, the ideal gas law tells us that pressure times volume is equal to the number of moles times the ideal gas constant times the temperature.
And so if you were to solve for pressure here, just divide both sides by volume. You'd get pressure is equal to nR times T over volume. And so we can express both sides of this equation that way. Our total pressure, that would be our total number of moles.
