A mixture of methane gas, CH4(g), and pentane gas, C5H12(g), has a pressure of 0.5427 atm when placed in a sealed container. The complete combustion of the mixture to carbon dioxide gas, CO2(g), and water vapor, H2O(g), was achieved by adding exactly enough oxygen gas, O2(g), to the container. The pressure of the product mixture in the sealed container is 2.417 atm. Calculate the mole fraction of methane in the initial mixture assuming the temperature and volume remain constant.

When methane (CH4CH4) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is CH4(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)CH4(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g) This type of reaction is referred to as a complete combustion reaction.
