The partial pressure of Ar is 356.04 mm Hg (= 0.4685 atm)
According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, each gas in a mixture exerts the same amount of pressure as it would if it were the only one in the container.
Briefing:
Given ,a mixture of three gases has a total pressure of 1380 mm Hg (=1.81579 atm) at 298 K
Moles of CO2 = 1.27 moles
Moles of CO = 3.04 moles
Moles of Ar = 1.50 moles
Calculate total number of moles
Total number of moles = n(CO2)+ n(CO)+ n(Ar) = 1.27 mol+ 3.04 mol+ 1.50 mol = 5.81 moles
Calculate mol fraction Ar
Mol fraction Ar = 1.50 mol/5.81 mol = 0.258
Calculate partial pressure
1380 mm Hg * 0.258 moles Ar = 356.04 mm Hg = 0.4685 atm
The partial pressure of Ar is 356.04 mm Hg (= 0.4685 atm)
