Answer:
The partial pressure of argon in the jar is 0.944 kilopascal.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of the jar of air = 25.0 L
Number of moles argon = 0.0104 moles
Temperature = 273 K
Step 2: Calculate the pressure of argon with the ideal gas law
p*V = nRT
p = (nRT)/V
⇒ with n = the number of moles of argon = 0.0104 moles
⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K
⇒ with T = the temperature = 273 K
⇒ with V = the volume of the jar = 25.0 L
p = (0.0104 * 0.0821 * 273)/25.0
p = 0.00932 atm
1 atm =101.3 kPa
0.00932 atm = 101.3 * 0.00932 = 0.944 kPa
The partial pressure of argon in the jar is 0.944 kilopascal.
