Answer:
Pressure of neon = 1.17 atm
Pressure of hydrogen = 0.63 atm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of H₂ = 2.5 mol
Number of moles of Ne = 4.6 mol
Total pressure = 1400 mmHg (1400/760 = 1.8 atm)
Solution:
We will solve this problem through mole fraction method.
Total number of moles = 2.5 + 4.6 = 7.1
Mole fraction of H₂ Mole fraction of Ne
2.5 mol/7.1 mol= 0.35 4.6mol/7.1mol = 0.65
Pressure of hydrogen = 0.35 × 1.8 atm
Pressure of hydrogen = 0.63 atm
Pressure of neon = 0.65 × 1.8 atm
Pressure of neon = 1.17 atm
Total pressure which is already given is sum of partial pressure of hydrogen and neon gas.
0.63 atm + 1.17 atm = 1.8 atm
