I am checking my review answers before a test tomorrow... Thing is, the book doesn't give answers for it's unit review questions. So I have a couple of questions here for you guys... Let me know if my final answer is correct please, and thank you.
A mixture of gases in a cylinder contains 0.85 mol of methane, 0.55 mol of oxygen, 1.25 mol of nitrogen, and 0.27 mol of propane. The pressure on the cylinder guage is 2573 kPa. What pressure does each gas exert?
My answer would be to divide each molar amount by the total number of moles in the cylinder, then multiply by 100 to get the percent space taken up by each gas, then to find that percent of 2573 kPa. . Is that correct?
Thanks
