A Container is filled with 1.00 mole each of the following gases: H2, N2, O2, Ne. The total pressure of the gases in the container is 800 mmHg. The partial pressure of the N2 gas is:

Answer 1

The partial pressure of each gas will be the mole fraction of that gas x total pressure

Each gas is 1 mole, and there are 4 gases. Mole fraction of each gas thus is 1/4 = 0.25

Partial pressure of each gas = 0.25 x 800 mm Hg = 200 mm Hg

So P_N2 = 200 mm Hg
