Answer

$P_{total}=92.8\,atm$ $P_{CHCl_{3}}=24.3\,atm$

Work Step by Step

$n(CHCl_{3})=\frac{3.23\,g}{119.38\,g/mol}=0.02705646\,mol$ $n(CH_{4})=\frac{1.22\,g}{16.04\,g/mol}=0.07606\,mol$ $R=0.0821\,L\,atm\,mol^{-1}K^{-1}$ $T=(275+273)K=548\,K$ $V=50.0\,mL=0.0500\,L$ $P_{total}= \frac{n_{total}RT}{V}$ $=\frac{[n(CHCl_{3})+n(CH_{4})]RT}{V}$ $=\frac{(0.02705646\,mol+0.07606\,mol)(0.0821\,L\,atm\,mol^{-1}K^{-1})(548\,K)}{0.0500\,L}$ $=92.8\,atm$ $P_{CHCl_{3}}= \frac{n_{CHCl_{3}}RT}{V}$ $=\frac{(0.02705646\,mol)(0.0821\,L\,atm\,mol^{-1}K^{-1})(548\,K)}{0.0500\,L}$ $=24.3\,atm$
