A typical neon light contains neon gas mixed with argon gas. If the total pressure of the mixture is 1.63 atm and the partial pressure of the neon is 0.71 atm, what is the partial pressure (in atm) of argon?

Question

mariamikayla · Answer

the partial pressure of argon is: 
 1.63-0.71= 0.92 atm

AL2006 · Answer

1.63 atm - 0.71 atm = 0.92 atm

mariamikayla · Answer

The partial pressure of argon gas in the mixture is 0.92 atm, calculated by subtracting the partial pressure of neon from the total pressure. Using Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures allows us to find individual gas pressures in a mixture. Therefore, we find that P_argon = 1.63 atm - 0.71 atm = 0.92 atm.
