Mixture containing .538mol He gas, .315mol Ne gas .103 Ar gas, is confined in 7.00-L vessel at 25oCelsius. How do you calculate partial pressure of each gas in mixture? How would you calculate the total pressure of the mixture?

Dalton's law of partial pressures states that.........

Explanation:

Dalton's law of partial pressures states that in a gaseous
partial pressure exerted by a component gas is the same as
the pressure it would exert if it alone occupied the container.

The total pressure is the sum of the individual partial pressures.

Here PTotal=PHe+PNe+PAr

=nHeRTV+nNeRTV+nArRTV

=RTV(nHe+nNe+nAr)

You have the molar quantities; you have the temperature, and volume; you have R=0.0821LatmK1mol1. Have at it.
