Enter your answer in the provided box. A mixture of helium and neon gases is collected over water at 28°C and 791 mmHg. If the partial pressure of helium is 381 mmHg, what is the partial pressure of neon? (Vapor pressure of water at 28°C is 28.3 mmHg.)

Explanation:

Using Dalton's law of partial pressure

P total pressure = Pressure of helium + Pressure of neon + Vapor pressure of water

P = 28.3 mmHg, Pressure of helium = 381 mmHg, Vapor pressure of water at 28°C

791 mmHg - 381 mmHg - 28.3 mmHg = Pressure of neon

Pressure of neon = 381.7 mmHg
