x CO₂  = 0.236

x H₂  = 0.764

Further explanation

Given

P CO₂ = 217 mmHg

P H₂ = 703 mmHg

Required

The mole fraction

Solution

Dalton's law :

The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases  

Can be formulated:  

P tot = P1 + P2 + P3 ....  

P tot for the mixture :

= 217 mmHg + 703 mmHg

= 920 mmHg

Mole fraction of each gas :

x CO₂ = 217 mmHg/920 mmHg = 0.236

x H₂ = 703 mmHg/920 mmHg = 0.764
