A vessel contained N₂, Ar, He, and Ne. The total pressure in the vessel was 987 torr. The partial pressures of nitrogen, argon, and helium were 44.0, 486, and 218 torr, respectively. The partial pressure of neon in the vessel was torr. A) 239 B) 521 C) 19.4 D) 42.4 E) 760

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The partial pressure of neon can be found by subtracting the sum of the partial pressures of nitrogen, argon, and helium from the total pressure: 987 - (44.0 + 486 + 218) = 239 torr.
