A gas mixture has a total pressure of 12.0 atm and consists of he and Ne. if the partial pressure of the he is 0.5 atm, what is the partial pressure of the Ne?
Accepted Answer
The partial pressure of Ne is 11.5 atm. According to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Therefore, P_total = P_He + P_Ne. Solving for the partial pressure of Ne, P_Ne = P_total - P_He = 12.0 atm - 0.5 atm = 11.5 atm.
