Trimix is a breathing mixture of He, O2, and N2 used by deep-sea scuba divers; He reduces the chances of N2 narcosis and O2 toxicity. A tank of Trimix has a total pressure of 204 atm and a partial pressure of He of 143 atm. What is the mole percent of He in the mixture?

Given: The total pressure of the tank is Pt = 204 atm, The partial pressure of helium is PA = 143…

Answered: Trimix is a breathing mixture of He,…
