Question

If a mixture of `CO` and `N_(2)` in equal amount have total 1 atm pressure, then partial pressure of `N_(2)` in the mixture is
A. 1 atm
B. `0.50` atm
C. 2 atm
D. 3 atm

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
Partial pressure of a component `=` Mole fraction `xx` Total pressure
or , `p_(N_(2))=("No. of moles of "N_(2))/("Total no. of moles")xx 1`
or , `p_(N_(2))=(1)/(20xx1=0.5)`
