Answer:
0.74 atm.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Pressure of Ne (Pₙₑ) = 1.52 atm
Pressure of He (Pₕₑ) = 766 mmHg
Total pressure (Pₜ) = 3.27 atm
Pressure of Ar (Pₐᵣ) =?
Next, we shall convert the pressure of He from mmHg to atm. This can be obtained as follow:
760 mmHg = 1 atm
Therefore,
766 mmHg = 766 mmHg × 1 atm / 760 mmHg
766 mmHg = 1.01 atm
Finally, we shall determine the partial pressure of Ar. This can be obtained as follow:
Pressure of Ne (Pₙₑ) = 1.52 atm
Pressure of He (Pₕₑ) = 1.01 atm
Total pressure (Pₜ) = 3.27 atm
Pressure of Ar (Pₐᵣ) =?
Pₜ = Pₙₑ + Pₕₑ + Pₐᵣ
3.27 = 1.52 + 1.01 + Pₐᵣ
3.27 = 2.53 + Pₐᵣ
Collect like terms
3.27 – 2.53 = Pₐᵣ
Pₐᵣ = 0.74 atm
Thus the partial pressure of Ar is 0.74 atm.
