A gas mixture contains CO, Ar and H2. What is the total pressure of the mixture, if

the mole fraction of H2 is 0.35 and the pressure of H2 is 0.58 atm?

The total pressure of the mixture is 1.657 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mol fraction of H2 = 0.35

Pressure of H2 = 0.58 atm

Partial pressure gas = total pressure gas * mol fraction gas

Step 2: Calculate the total pressure

Partial pressure H2 = total pressure * mol fraction

0.58 atm = total pressure * 0.35

Total pressure = 0.58 atm / 0.35

Total pressure = 1.657 atm

The total pressure of the mixture is 1.657 atm
