First we need to calculate the mole fraction of each gas in the mixture, with molar mass we can determine that:
5.96 g Kr * (1mol/ 83.798 g) = 0.0711 mol Kr
4.42 g Ne *(1mol/ 20.1797 g) = 0.219 mol Ne
Now the mole fraction could be calculated using the following formula:
For Krypton, we have:
And for the neon we have 0,755 for the mole fraction.
The partial pressure of an individual gas component in an ideal gas can be obtained using this expression:
where: xi is the mole fraction of any individual gas component in a gas mixture, pi is the partial pressure of any individual gas component in a mixture and p is the total pression of the gas mixture.
The partial pressure for Krypton will be:
pKr = 0.254*678 mmHg = 166 mmHg
And the partial pressure for Neon will be:
pKr = 0,755*678 mmHg = 512 mmHg
