To prevent air from interacting with highly reactive chemicals, noble gases are placed over the chemicals to act as inert “blanketing” gases. A chemical engineer places a mixture of noble gases consisting of 5.50 g of He, 15.0 g of Ne, and 35.0 g of Kr in a piston-cylinder assembly at STP. Calculate the Partial Pressure per Gas

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of He  = 5.5g

Mass of Ne  = 15g

Mass of Kr  = 35g

Pressure at STP = 1atm

Unknown:

Partial pressure per gas = ?

Solution:

Partial pressure is the pressure a gas would exert it alone occupies the container.

 Partial pressure of a gas  = Mole fraction of a gas x Total pressure of mixture

        Number of moles  =

Number of moles of He  =   = 1.375mole

Number of moles of Ne =   = 0.75mole

Number of moles of Kr =  = 0.42mole

Sum total of moles  = 1.375 + 0.75 + 0.42 = 2.54moles

Partial pressure of He  = x 1atm = 0.54atm

Partial pressure of Ne = x 1atm  = 0.29atm

Partial pressure of kr  = x 1atm = 0.17atm

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
