A flask contains a 1.00 mole of neon gas and 2.00 moles of argon gas. If the total pressure of the gases is 150.0 kPa, then what is the partial pressure of the argon gas in kPa?

Partial pressure of Ar = 100.5 KPa

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Number of mole of Ne = 1 mole

Number of mole of Ar = 2 moles

Total pressure = 150.0 KPa

Partial pressure of Ar =?

Next, we shall determine the mole fraction of Argon (Ar). This can be obtained as follow:

Number of mole of Ne = 1 mole

Number of mole of Ar = 2 moles

Total mole = 1 + 2 = 3 moles

Mole fraction of Ar = mole of Ar / total mole

Mole fraction of Ar = 2/3

Mole fraction of Ar = 0.67 mole

Finally, we shall determine the partial pressure of argon (Ar). This can be obtained as follow:

Mole fraction of Ar = 0.67 mole

Total pressure = 150.0 KPa

Partial pressure of Ar =?

Partial pressure = mole fraction of gas × total pressure

Partial pressure of Ar = 0.67 × 150

Partial pressure of Ar = 100.5 KPa

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
