1.25 L container holds a stoichiometric mixture* of ethene (CaH4), ethane (CaH6) and oxygen at a total pressure of 1.55 atm and a temperature of 24.5 °C. The mixture is ignited and completely combusts to form carbon dioxide and water. The water is removed from the vessel, leaving only carbon dioxide at a total pressure of 0.926 am at the same conditions. What is the mole fraction of oxygen in the original mixture?
