In a mixture of he, ne, and xe gases with a total pressure of 925 atm, if there is 10.5 g of each gas in the mixture, what is the partial pressure of xe?

Partial pressure of Xe = 22.9 atm

Explanation:

Given:

Total pressure of gas mixture = 925 atm

Mass of He = Ne = Xe = 10.5 g

To determine:

Partial pressure of Xe

Explanation:

As per Dalton's Law in a mixture of gases the total pressure is the equal to the sum of partial pressures

In this case:

-------------(1)

Partial pressure of each gas can be expressed as:

-----(2)

where n(Xe) = moles of Xe

n(Total) = total moles

Therefore,

n(Total) = 0.080+2.625+0.525 = 3.23

Substituting for nXe, n(Total) and P(total) in equation (2)

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
