If a container holds 5.00 moles of gas and the total pressure is 5.00 atm., what is the partial pressure for each mole of gas?

1 atm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total mole = 5 moles

Total pressure = 5 atm

Partial pressure for each mole =.?

Next, we shall determine the mole fraction for each mole of the gas. This is illustrated below:

Since the container holds 5 moles of gas, then the mole fraction for each mole of the gas will be 1/5.

Finally, we shall determine the partial pressure for each mole of the gas as follow:

Mole fraction for each mole = 1/5

Total pressure = 5 atm

Partial pressure for each mole =.?

Partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure

Partial pressure = 1/5 × 5

Partial pressure = 1 atm

Thus, the partial pressure for each mole of the gas is 1 atm.
