  • Calculating Mole Fractions in a Gas Mixture at STP - Chemistry Problem
    Here's how to calculate the mole fractions of each gas in the mixture:

    1. Calculate the total moles of gas:

    * Total moles = moles of oxygen + moles of nitrogen + moles of carbon dioxide

    * Total moles = 0.25 mol + 0.75 mol + 1.50 mol = 2.50 mol

    2. Calculate the mole fraction of each gas:

    * Mole fraction (X) = moles of individual gas / total moles of gas

    * Oxygen (O₂):

    * X(O₂) = 0.25 mol / 2.50 mol = 0.10

    * Nitrogen (N₂):

    * X(N₂) = 0.75 mol / 2.50 mol = 0.30

    * Carbon Dioxide (CO₂):

    * X(CO₂) = 1.50 mol / 2.50 mol = 0.60

    Therefore, the mole fractions in the mixture are:

    * Oxygen (O₂): 0.10

    * Nitrogen (N₂): 0.30

    * Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): 0.60
