A mixture of gases contains 4.46 moles of Neon, 0.74 moles of Argon and 2.15 moles of Xenon.
Given that, nNe (number of moles of Neon) = 4.46 moles
nAr (number of moles of Argon) = 0.74 moles
nXe (number of moles of Xeon) = 2.15 moles
We have to calculate the partial pressure of gases if the total pressure is 2 atmosphere at a certain temperature.
Also given that, Total pressure = 2 atmosphere
Now,
P(Neon) = X(Neon) × P(Total pressure)
X(Ne) = (nNe)/(nNe + nAr + nXe)
X(Ne) = 4.46/(4.46 + 0.74 + 2.15)
X(Ne) = 4.46/7.35
X(Ne) = 0.607
P(Neon or Ne) = 0.607 × 2
P(Ne) = 1.21 atm
Similarly, for Argon
X(Ar) = (nAr)/(nNe + nAr + nXe)
X(Ar) = 0.74/(4.46 + 0.74 + 2.15)
X(Ar) = 0.10
P(Ar) = 0.10 × 2
P(Ar) = 0.20 atm
For Xenon
X(Xe) = (nXe)/(nNe + nAr + nXe)
X(Xe) = 2.15/(4.46 + 0.74 + 2.15)
X(Xe) = 0.293
P(Xe) = 0.293 × 2
P(Xe) = 0.586 atm
Therefore,
Partial pressure = P(Ne) + P(Ar) + P(Xe)
= 1.21 + 0.20 + 0.586 = 1.996 atm
