Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The number of molecules of methane should be calculated
Concept Introduction:
Raoult's Law:
It states that the partial pressure of gas in a mixture is equal to the product of the total pressure of a gas and its mole fraction.
The mathematical expression is:
Where,
The partial pressure of gas A is obtained by the multiplication of mole fraction of gas A and total pressure of mixture.
According to the relation, the partial pressure of gas A is directly proportional to its mole fraction implies with increase in the mole fraction, the partial pressure of a gas is also increases whereas with decrease in the mole fraction, the partial pressure of a gas is also decreases.
