A mixture of 5.00 moles of neon and 3.00 moles of nitrogen occupy a volume of 36.0 L in a vessel where the total pressure is 6.00 atm. The partial pressure of the neon in the container is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is given by the mole fraction of the gas multiplied by the total pressure. The mole fraction of neon is 5.00 moles / (5.00 moles + 3.00 moles) = 0.625. Therefore, the partial pressure of neon is 0.625 * 6.00 atm = 3.75 atm.
