A mixture of three noble gases has a total pressure of 1.25 atm. The individual pressures exerted by neon and argon are 0.68 atm and 0.35 atm, respectively. What is the partial pressure of the third gas, helium?

The partial pressure of the third gas (Helium) is 0.22 atm

calculation


Total pressure= partial pressure for neon + partial pressure for argon + partial pressure for helium


partial pressure for neon= 0.68 atm

partial pressure for argon = 0.35 atm

partial pressure for helium = ? atm


make the partial pressure of helium the subject of the formula


Partial pressure of Helium= total pressure - ( partial pressure of neon +partial pressure for Helium )


= 1.25 atm - (0.68 +0.35 ) =0.22 atm
