Chemical Process Calculation Questions and Answers – Ideal gas Mixture

This set of Chemical Process Calculation Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Ideal gas Mixture”.

1. For a mixture of 25 moles of NO3 and a total pressure of 100 atm, what is the partial pressure of NO3?
a) 20 atm
b) 40 atm
c) 60 atm
d) 80 atm
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Partial pressure is calculated as Pi = Xi × Ptotal, where Xi is the mole fraction of NO3. In this case, XNO3 = 25 / (25 + 100) = 0.2, so PNO3 = 0.2 × 100 = 20 atm.

2. For a mixture of 100 moles of SO2 and a total pressure of 100 atm, what is the partial pressure of SO2?
a) 20 atm
b) 40 atm
c) 60 atm
d) 80 atm
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Partial pressure is calculated as Pi = Xi × Ptotal, where Xi is the mole fraction of SO2. Here, XSO2 = 100 / (25 + 100) = 0.8, so PSO2 = 0.8 × 100 = 80 atm.

3. “The pressure that would be exerted by a single component in a gaseous mixture if it is existed alone in the same volume as occupied by the mixture and at the same temperature as the mixture”” is known as
a) Absolute pressure
b) Partial pressure
c) Total pressure of a gas mixture
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Pressure exerted by a single component in a gaseous mixture if it is existed alone in the same volume is partial pressure.
