Answer:
[tex]P_{He}^|=288.85torr[/tex]
Explanation:
Given data
[tex]P_{He}=750 torr\\V_{He}=285mL\\P_{Ar}=732 torr\\V_{Ar}=455 mL[/tex]
Required
Partial pressure of helium
Solution
First calculate the total volume of gas mixture once the stopcock is opened
So
[tex]V_{total}=V_{He}+V_{Ar}\\V_{total}=285mL+455mL\\V_{total}=740mL[/tex]
As temperature remains constant,by Boyle's Law we calculate the partial pressure of the helium gas
So
[tex]P_{He}V_{He}=P_{He}^|V_{total}\\P_{He}^|=\frac{P_{He}V_{He}}{V_{total}}\\P_{He}^|=\frac{750torr*285mL}{740mL}\\ P_{He}^|=288.85torr[/tex]
