A gas mixture contains hydrogen, helium, neon and argon. The total pressure of the mixture is 93.6 kPa. The partial pressures of helium, neon and argon are 15.4 kPa, 25.7 kPa, and 35.6 kPa, respectively. What is the pressure produced by the hydrogen

16.9 kPa is the partial pressure or pressure produced by a mixture of gases having total pressure of 93.6 kPa.

Explanation:

Data given:

mixture of hydrogen, helium. neon and argon gases with total pressure = 93.6 kPa

partial pressure of helium, pHe = 15.4 kPa

partial pressure of neon gas, pNe = 25.7 kPa

partial pressure of Argon gas, pAr = 35.6 kPa

partial pressure of hydrogen gas. pH = ?

Here, Daltons law of partial pressure will be applied"

Ptotal = pHe + pNe + pAr + pH

Ptotal - pHe - pNe - pAr = pH

93.6 - (15.4+25.7+35.6) = pH

pH = 16.9 kPa

pressure exerted by hydrogen gas individually is 16.6kPa.
