A vessel contained N₂,Ar,He,and Ne.The total pressure in the vessel was 987 torr.The partial pressures of nitrogen,argon,and helium were 44.0,486,and 218 torr,respectively.The partial pressure of neon in the vessel was ________ torr. A)42.4 B)521 C)19.4 D)239 E)760

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the partial pressure of neon, we can use the formula:

Total pressure = partial pressure of nitrogen + partial pressure of argon + partial pressure of helium + partial pressure of neon

Rearranging the formula, we get:

Partial pressure of neon = Total pressure - partial pressure of nitrogen - partial pressure of argon - partial pressure of helium

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Partial pressure of neon = 987 - 44 - 486 - 218
Partial pressure of neon = 239 torr

Therefore, the answer is D) 239.
