Chapter 11, Problem 11.73QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressures of Neon gas has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

• In a mixture of gases, every gas has an incomplete pressure which is the theoretical stress of that gas if it alone engaged the entire volume of the original combination at the same temperature.
• The sum pressure of an ideal gas mixture is the amount of the partial pressures of the gases in the mixture.
• The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure.
• Assuming we have a mixture of ideal gases, we can use the ideal gas law to solve problems involving gases in a mixture.
• Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases:
• ${\text{P}}_{\text{Total}}\text{}{\text{=P}}_{\text{gas 1}}\text{}{\text{+P}}_{\text{gas 2}}\text{}{\text{+P}}_{\text{gas 3}}\text{}\mathrm{....}$
