A mixture of He, NE, and N2 gases has a pressure of 1.043 atm. If the pressures of He and Ne are 0.137 atm and 0.566 atm, respectively, what is the partial pressure of N2 in the mixture?

Answer : The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in the mixture is, 0.34 atm

Explanation :

According to the Dalton's Law, the total pressure of the gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of individual gases.

Formula used :

where,

= total pressure of gas  = 1.043 atm

= partial pressure of helium gas  = 0.137 atm

= partial pressure of neon gas  = 0.566 atm

= partial pressure of nitrogen gas  = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Thus, the partial pressure of nitrogen gas in the mixture is, 0.34 atm

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
