Answer:
P(Kr) = 1.2 atm
Explanation:
According to Dalton law of partial pressure,
The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.
Mathematical expression:
P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ
Now we will solve this problem by using this law
Total pressure = 1.60 atm
Partial pressure of neon = 0.40 atm
Partial pressure of krypton = ?
Solution:
P(total) = P(Ne)+ P(Kr)
1.60 atm = 0.40 atm +P(Kr)
P(Kr) = 1.60 atm - 0.40 atm
P(Kr) = 1.2 atm
The partial pressure of Krypton in the mixture has been 1.2 atm.
Partial pressure can be defined as the pressure exerted by a single gas in the solution.
According to Dalton’s law of partial pressure, the total pressure of the gas has been the summation of the partial pressure of each gas present in the mixture.
Total pressure = Partial pressure of A + Partial pressure of B + Partial pressure of C……
The given mixture has been consisted of neon and krypton. The total pressure of the mixture has been:
Total pressure = Partial pressure of Ne + Partial pressure of Kr
The total pressure = 1.60 atm.
The partial pressure of Ne = 0.40 atm.
Substituting the values:
1.60 atm = 0.40 atm + Partial pressure of Kr
Partial pressure of Kr = 1.60 - 0.40 atm
Partial pressure of Kr = 1.2 atm.
The partial pressure of Krypton in the mixture has been 1.2 atm.
