A 500mL sealed glass flask contains a mixture of N2(g) and O2(g) at a total pressure of 2.50×105Pa and 300K. The flask contains 0.0200mol of N2.
R=8.31J K−1mol−1
(a)
(i) Calculate the partial pressure of N2 in the flask. [2]
(ii) Determine the number of moles of O2 in the flask. [2 marks]
(b)
Explain, using the assumptions of the ideal gas model, why the total pressure of a gas mixture equals the sum of the partial pressures of its components. [2 marks]
(c)
Evaluate whether the ideal gas law would accurately predict the pressure in the flask if it were cooled to 50K. Justify your answer with reference to two assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory. [3 marks]
