    The mole fraction of H₂ gas in the given mixture: χ₁ = 0.44

    The total pressure of the gas mixture: P = 10.825 atm

    The partial pressure of H₂ gas in the given mixture: p₁ = 4.76 atm

    The partial pressure of N₂ gas in the given mixture: p₂ = 1.19 atm

    The partial pressure of CH₄ gas in the given mixture: p₃ = 4.76 atm

    Explanation:

    Given: mass of H₂: W₁ = 2 g, mass of N₂: W₂ = 7 g, mass of CH₄: W₃ = 16 g

    Molar mass of H₂: M₁ = 2g/mol, molar mass of N₂: M₂ = 28g/mol, molar mass of CH₄: M₃=16g/mol

    Number of moles of H₂: n₁ = W₁ : M₁ = 2 : 2 = 1 mol

    Number of moles of N₂: n₂ = W₂ : M₂ = 7 : 28 = 0.25 mol

    Number of moles of CH₄: n₃ = W₃ : M₃ = 16 : 16 = 1 mol

    Therefore, the total number of moles: n = n₁ + n₂ + n₃ = 1 + 0.25 + 1 = 2.25 mol

    The mole fraction of H₂ gas in the given mixture: χ₁ = n₁ : n = 1 : 2.25 = 0.44

    The mole fraction of N₂ gas in the given mixture: χ₂ = n₂ : n = 0.25 : 2.25 = 0.11

    The mole fraction of CH₄ gas in the given mixture: χ₃ = n₃ : n = 1 : 2.25 = 0.44

    The total pressure of the gas mixture can be calculated by the ideal gas equation: P = n. R. T : V

    Given: total volume:V = 5L, total number of moles:n = 2.25 mol, gas constant: R = 0.08206 L. atm. mol⁻. K⁻, temperature: T = 20°C = 20 + 273.15 = 293.15 K, total pressure: P=?

    Therefore, total pressure of the gas mixture: P = (2.25 mol * 0.08206 L. atm. mol⁻. K⁻ * 293.15 K) : (5L) = 10.825 atm

    The partial pressure of H₂ gas in the given mixture: p₁ = χ₁ * P = 0.44 * 10.825 atm = 4.76 atm

    The partial pressure of N₂ gas in the given mixture: p₂ = χ₂ * P = 0.11 * 10.825 atm = 1.19 atm

    The partial pressure of CH₄ gas in the given mixture: p₃ = χ₃ * P = 0.44 * 10.825 atm = 4.76 atm
