mole% to %(v/v)
« on: December 08, 2014, 05:02:19 PM »
The gas mixture contains of H2, N2, O2, CO, CO2, CH4, C3H8, C3H6 and C4H10.
1 m3 of gas mixture (at 101.325 Pa and 288,15 K) contains 10 mole% of CO.

How to calculate % (v/v) of CO in the gas mixture?

Have you heard about Avogadro's law?

Yes of course and I used it for calculation before I asked ;)
As I got 0,2% (v/v) and my colleague got 10% I decided to ask an expert   :)

How do you get 0.2% v/v from 10% mole using Avogadro's law?

Sorry, I wrote 0,2 instead of 0,1. But I see now it was 0,1 m3 not 0,1%.
V = (1 m3 / 100 mole%) * 10 mole% = 0,1 m3 CO
So I think my colleague was right when he got 10% v/v    :-[

Direct application of Avogadro's law tells you that molar fractions and volume fractions for gases are identical. So yes - 10% v/v is an obvious answer.
