Answer: The partial pressure of neon in the mixture is 263 mm Hg
Explanation:
According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.
[tex]p_{total}=p_{He}+p_{N_2}+p_{Ne}[/tex]
Given : [tex]p_{total}[/tex] =total pressure of gases = 815 mm Hg
[tex]p_{He}[/tex] = partial pressure of helium = 201 mm Hg
[tex]p_{N_2}[/tex] = partial pressure of nitrogen = 351 mm Hg
[tex]p_{Ne}[/tex] = partial pressure of Neon = ?
putting in the values we get:
[tex]815mm Hg=201 mm Hg+351 mm Hg+p_{Ne}[/tex]
[tex]p_{Ne}=263mmHg[/tex]
The partial pressure of neon in the mixture is 263 mm Hg
