Answer : The mole fraction of ethane and ethene in gaseous mixture are, 0.5 and 0.5

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of gaseous mixture of ethane and ethene.

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm

V = volume of gas = 28 L

T = temperature of gas = 0^oC=273+0=273K

n = number of moles of gaseous mixture = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

(1atm)\times (28L)=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (273K)

n=1.249mole

Thant means,

n_{C_2H_6}+n_{C_2H_4}=1.249

Let the moles of C_2H_6 and C_2H_4 be, 'a' and 'b' respectively.

a+b=1.249        ............(1)

The balanced chemical reactions are:

(a) C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

(b) C_2H_4+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+2H_2O

From both the reaction, we conclude that

\frac{7a}{2}+3b=\frac{\text{Mass of }O_2}{\text{Molar mass of }O_2}

\frac{7a}{2}+3b=\frac{130}{32}       ...........(2)

Now by solving the equation 1 and 2, we get:

a = 0.631

b = 0.618

Now we have to calculate the moles fraction of ethane and ethene in gaseous mixture.

\text{Mole fraction of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{Moles of }C_2H_6}{\text{Moles of }C_2H_6+\text{Moles of }C_2H_4}=\frac{0.631}{0.631+0.618}=0.505\approx 0.5

\text{Mole fraction of }C_2H_4=\frac{\text{Moles of }C_2H_4}{\text{Moles of }C_2H_6+\text{Moles of }C_2H_4}=\frac{0.618}{0.631+0.618}=0.495\approx 0.5

Therefore, the mole fraction of ethane and ethene in gaseous mixture are, 0.5 and 0.5
