A 1.00 L sample of a gas at 25.0
Number of moles of Helium, nHe = mass / molar mass
= 50.0 g / 4 gmol-1 If we assume total sample mass is 100 g
= 12.5 mol
Number of moles of Neon , nNe = mass / molar mass
= 50.0 g / 20 gmol -1
= 2.5 mol
Total number of moles , n = nHe + nNe
= 12.5 + 2.5
= 15.0 mol
Mole fraction of Neon , X Ne = nNe / n
= 2.5 / 15.0
= 0.167
partial pressure of Neon , p Ne = total pressure x mole fraction of Neon
= 1.0 atm x 0.167
= 0.167 atm
