The mole fraction of dioxygen in a neon-dioxygen mixture is 0.18 . If the total pressure of the mixture is 25 bar, the partial pressure of neon in the mixture would be

Step-by-step solution

Given, p_ total =25 bar, _ O₂ =0.18 Using the relation; _ O ₂ + _ Ne =1 aligned & _ Ne =1-0.18=0.82 &p_ Ne = _ Ne p_ tota =0.82 25=20.5 bar aligned
