Equilibrium of an Ideal Gas Mixture
A natural gas reservoir contains a mixture of methane and nitrogen at 298 K. At the top of the well, the mixture pressure is 100 kPa and the molar composition is found to be 50% methane and 50% nitrogen. Determine (a) the pressure and (b) the molar composition at the bottom, 3 km below the surface. Assume uniform temperature and ideal gas behavior.
