A mixture of helium and neon gases at 313 K contains 3 times the number of helium atoms as neon atoms. The concentration (????/????) of the mixture is found to be 0.150 mol/L. Assuming ideal behavior, what is the partial pressure of helium?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.89 atm is the partial pressure of helium.

Explanation:

Number of atoms of neon gas = x

Number of atoms of helium gas = 3x

Moles of neon gas = [tex]n_1=N_A\times x=xN_A[/tex]

Moles of helium gas = [tex]n_2=N_A\times 3x=3xN_A[/tex]

Concentration of mixture ,c= [tex]\frac{n(moles)}{V(volume(L))}= 0.150 mol/L[/tex]

Temperature of the mixture = T = 313 K

Total pressure of the mixture = P

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{n}{V}RT[/tex]

[tex]P=cRT=0.150 mol/L\times 0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 313 K[/tex]

P = 3.8546 atm

Mole fraction of neon = [tex]\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{xN_A}{xN_A+3xN_A}=0.25[/tex]

Mole fraction of helium= [tex]\chi_2=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{3xN_A}{xN_A+3xN_A}=0.75[/tex]

Partial pressure of helium gas can be determined by the help of Dalton's:

[tex]p_{He}=P\times \chi_2=3.8546 atm\times 0.75=2.89 atm [/tex]

2.89 atm is the partial pressure of helium.

The partial pressure of helium is mathematically given as

p{He}=2.89 atm

What is the partial pressure of helium?

Question Parameter(s):

The mixture of helium and neon gases at 313 K contains 3 times the number of helium atoms as neon atoms.

Generally, the equation for the ideal gas   is mathematically given as

PV=nRT

Therefore

P=cRT

P=0.150 * 0.0821  313 K

P = 3.8546 atm

In conclusion, mole fraction of neon and helium

[tex]x_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}\\\\x_1=\frac{xN_A}{xN_A+3xN_A}\\[/tex]

x_1=0.25

For helium

[tex]x_2=\frac{3xN_A}{xN_A+3xN_A}[/tex]

x_2=0.75

Hence, Partial pressure of helium gas

p{He}=P*x_2

p{He}=3.8546 * 0.75

p{He}=2.89 atm
