Assignment NO 1 - Solution
1- A vessel of 0.35 m3 capacity contains 0.4 kg of carbon monoxide (molecular weight = 28)
and 1 kg of air at 20°C. Calculate:
(i) The partial pressure of each constituent,
(ii) The total pressure in the vessel, and
The gravimetric analysis of air is to be taken as 23.3% oxygen (molecular weight = 32) and
76.7% nitrogen (molecular weight = 28).

2- The gravimetric analysis of air and other data are as follows:
3- A vessel contains at 1 bar and 20°C a mixture of 1 mole of CO2 and 4 moles of
air. Calculate for the mixture:
(i) The masses of CO2, O2 and N2, and the total mass;
(ii) The percentage carbon content by mass;
(iii) The apparent molecular weight and the gas constant for the mixture;
(iv) The specific volume of the mixture.
The volumetric analysis of air can be taken as 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen.

4- A gaseous mixture of composition by volume, 78% H2 and 22% CO is contained in a
vessel. It is desired that the mixture should be made in proportion 52% H2 and 48% CO by
removing some of the mixture and adding some CO. Calculate per mole of mixture the mass
of mixture to be removed, and mass of CO to be added. Assume that the pressure and
temperature in the vessel remain constant during the procedure.
