(b). The vapour density (hydrogen = 1) of a mixture consisting of NO2 and N2O4 is 38.3 at 26.7oC. Calculate the number of moles of NO2 in 100 g of the mixure.
Explanation
We know,
Vapour density of single was $$ = {{\mathrm{Molar\,Mass}} \over 2}$$
and Vapour density (VD) of mixture of gas $$ = {{\mathrm{Average\,Molar\,Mass\,({M_{avg}}})} \over 2}$$
Here mixture of NO2 and N2O4 gas present.
$$\therefore$$ $$\mathrm{VD} = {{{\mathrm{M_{avg}}}} \over 2}$$
Given, $$VD = 38.3$$
$$\therefore$$ $$38.3 = {{{\mathrm{M_{avg}}}} \over 2}$$
$$ \Rightarrow {\mathrm{M_{avg}}} = 76.6$$
Now let in 100 gm of mixture there are x gm of NO2.
And molecular mass of $$N{O_2} = 14 + 32 = 46$$
And let weight of N2O4 in 100 gm of mixture $$ = 100 - x$$
And molecular mass of $${N_2}{O_4} = 14 \times 2 + 16 \times = 92$$
$$\therefore$$ Molos of $$N{O_2} = {x \over {46}}$$
and moles of $${N_2}{O_4} = {{100 - x} \over {92}}$$
We know,
Number of moles $$(n) = {{\mathrm{Given\,Mass\,(W)}} \over {\mathrm{Molar\,Mass\,(M)}}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow M = {W \over n}$$
Given, $$M = 76.6$$
$$W = 100$$ gm
$$n = {x \over {46}} + {{100 - x} \over {92}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow 76.6 = {{100} \over {{x \over {46}} + {{100 - x} \over {92}}}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow {x \over {46}} + {{100 - x} \over {92}} = {{100} \over {76.6}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow {{2x + 100 - x} \over {92}} = {{100} \over {76.6}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow x + 100 = {{9200} \over {76.6}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow 76.6x + 7660 = 9200$$
$$ \Rightarrow 76.6x = 1540$$
$$ \Rightarrow x = {{1540} \over {76.6}} = 20.1$$
$$\therefore$$ Weight of $$N{O_2} = 20.1$$ g
and weight of $${N_2}{O_4} = 79.9$$ g
$$\therefore$$ Moles of $$N{O_2} = {{20.1} \over {46}} = 0.437$$ moles
