Answer : The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in the mixture is, 0.34 atm
Explanation :
According to the Dalton's Law, the total pressure of the gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of individual gases.
Formula used :
[tex]p_T=p_{He}+p_{Ne}+p_{N_2}[/tex]
where,
[tex]p_T[/tex] = total pressure of gas = 1.043 atm
[tex]p_{He}[/tex] = partial pressure of helium gas = 0.137 atm
[tex]p_{Ne}[/tex] = partial pressure of neon gas = 0.566 atm
[tex]p_{N_2}[/tex] = partial pressure of nitrogen gas = ?
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
[tex]1.043=0.137+0.566+p_{N_2}[/tex]
[tex]p_{N_2}=0.34atm[/tex]
Thus, the partial pressure of nitrogen gas in the mixture is, 0.34 atm
