Answer:
pHe = 3.2 × 10⁻³ atm
pNe = 2.5 × 10⁻³ atm
P = 5.7 × 10⁻³ atm
Explanation:
Given data
Volume = 1.00 L
Temperature = 25°C + 273 = 298 K
mHe = 0.52 mg = 0.52 × 10⁻³ g
mNe = 2.05 mg = 2.05 × 10⁻³ g
The molar mass of He is 4.00 g/mol. The moles of He are:
0.52 × 10⁻³ g × (1 mol / 4.00 g) = 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ mol
We can find the partial pressure of He using the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
P × 1.00 L = 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ mol × (0.082 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K
P = 3.2 × 10⁻³ atm
The molar mass of Ne is 20.18 g/mol. The moles of Ne are:
2.05 × 10⁻³ g × (1 mol / 20.18 g) = 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ mol
We can find the partial pressure of Ne using the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
P × 1.00 L = 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ mol × (0.082 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K
P = 2.5 × 10⁻³ atm
The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures.
P = 3.2 × 10⁻³ atm + 2.5 × 10⁻³ atm = 5.7 × 10⁻³ atm
