Chapter 5, Problem 5.148QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the given statements, the statement that explains the change in partial pressure of $1.00\text{ mol}$ of nitrogen in a $\text{22}\text{.4 L}$ of container when a sample of neon is added to it has to be identified

Concept Introduction:

Partial Pressure:

Dalton’s law of partial pressure states that “the total pressure (P) of the mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures ${\text{(P}}_{\text{A}}{\text{, P}}_{\text{B}}{\text{, P}}_{\text{C}}\mathrm{.....}\text{)}$ of all the component gases $\text{(A, B, C}\mathrm{......}\text{)}$  present in the mixture” and is given as,

${\text{P = P}}_{\text{A}}{\text{ + P}}_{\text{B}}{\text{ + P}}_{\text{C}}\text{ + }\mathrm{.......}$

The ideal gas law for the individual gas component A is given as,

${\text{P}}_{\text{A}}{\text{V = n}}_{\text{A}}\text{RT}$

To Identify: Among the given statements, the statement that explains the change in partial pressure of $1.00\text{ mol}$ of nitrogen in a $\text{22}\text{.4 L}$ of container when a sample of neon is added to it
