Answer:
Partial pressure of Ar = 100.5 KPa
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Number of mole of Ne = 1 mole
Number of mole of Ar = 2 moles
Total pressure = 150.0 KPa
Partial pressure of Ar =?
Next, we shall determine the mole fraction of Argon (Ar). This can be obtained as follow:
Number of mole of Ne = 1 mole
Number of mole of Ar = 2 moles
Total mole = 1 + 2 = 3 moles
Mole fraction of Ar = mole of Ar / total mole
Mole fraction of Ar = 2/3
Mole fraction of Ar = 0.67 mole
Finally, we shall determine the partial pressure of argon (Ar). This can be obtained as follow:
Mole fraction of Ar = 0.67 mole
Total pressure = 150.0 KPa
Partial pressure of Ar =?
Partial pressure = mole fraction of gas × total pressure
Partial pressure of Ar = 0.67 × 150
Partial pressure of Ar = 100.5 KPa
