Chapter 11, Problem 10SAQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Partial Pressure of neon in mixture of two gases is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

In a gas mixture, the pressure due to any individual component is termed as partial pressure of that component.

Any component’s partial pressure is that component’s fractional composition times the total pressure of the mixture. It is expressed as:

$\text{partial pressure of component}=\text{fraction composition of component}\times \text{total pressure}$
