The air that we breathe is composed of 78% nitrogen (N2), 21% oxygen (O2), and the other 1% includes water vapor, carbon dioxide, and pollutants. If a tire is inflated to a pressure of 33 pounds per square inch (psi) with regular air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen and of oxygen within the tire?
Homework Answers
Partial pressure = mole fraction x total pressure.
For nitrogen, Partial pressure = 0.78 x 33psi = 25.74psi
For oxygen, Partial pressure = 0.21 x 33psi = 6.93psi

We can determine the molecular mass of air by considering nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2) and argon (Ar) make up 78%, 21% and 1% of the atmosphere. The atomic masses of nitrogen, oxygen and argon are 14, 16, 40 grams/mole. Compute the molecular mass of air.

Almost all gaseous systems that we use are gas mixtures, air is the most obvious example. Air is composed of 78% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, 1 % argon, 1% water vapor, 0.3% carbon dioxide. Chemists often express the composition of a gas not with percent, but with a fraction. The mole fraction of nitrogen,ΧN2 , in air is defined as ΧN2= nN2 ⁄ nTotal = 0.78 The pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each...
