How do you solve this ??

Option D. 400 mmHg

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mole of He (nHe) = 0.04 mole

Mole of Ne (nNe) = 0.06 mole

Total pressure = 10³ mmHg

Partial pressure of He =.?

Next, we shall determine the total number of mole in the reaction vessel.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of He (nHe) = 0.04 mole

Mole of Ne (nNe) = 0.06 mole

Total mole =?

Total mole = nHe + nNe

Total mole = 0.04 + 0.06

Total mole = 0.1

Next, we shall determine the mole fraction of He.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mole fraction = mole of gas /total mole

Mole of He (nHe) = 0.04 mole

Total mole = 0.1

Mole fraction of He =.?

Mole fraction of He = nHe/total mole

Mole fraction of He = 0.04/0.1

Mole fraction of He = 0.4

Finally, we shall determine the partial pressure of He as follow:

Partial pressure = mole fraction x total pressure

Mole fraction of He = 0.4

Total pressure = 10³ mmHg

Partial pressure of He =.?

Partial pressure of He = 0.4 x 10³

Partial pressure of He = 400 mmHg.

Therefore, the partial pressure of He is 400 mmHg.
