Question
A mixture of three gasses contains 5 total moles and has a total pressure of 3.2 atm. If there are 1.8 moles of He, 0.95 moles of Ne, what is the partial pressure of the third gas, kr?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Recall the following relations to calculate partial pressure

                   partial pressure=mole fraction×total pressureHere, 1.8 moles of He,0.95 moles of Ne are present along with Kr making total mole=5Again, XHe + XNe + Xkr=1

Here, XHe is mole fraction of He         XNe is mole fraction of Ne         XKr is mole fraction of KrGiven that total pressure of the mixture is 3.2 atm
