A chamber contains equal molar amounts of He, Ne, Ar, and Kr. If the total chamber pressure is 1 atm, then the partial pressure (in atm) of Kr is:

The correct answer is 0.25 atm.

Explanation:

As mentioned in the given question that the chamber comprises equal molar concentrations of He, Ne, Ar and Kr gas. So, let us assume that the moles of all the gases will be x then the total number of moles will be 4x.  

The formula for calculating mole fraction is,  

Mole fraction = mole of the substance/total moles  

The mole fraction of Kr = x/4x = 0.25

The total pressure given in the chamber is 1 atm. Therefore, the partial pressure will be,  

Partial pressure = mole fraction * Total pressure

Partial pressure = 0.25 * 1 = 0.25 atm.  

the mantle

explanation:

earth is divided into three layers: the crust or the outermost layer on which we live; the underlying, middle layer - the mantle - and the core (the innermost layer of earth).

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
