The required partial pressure of argon gas present in the mixture is 1.02 atm.
What is Dalton law of gas?
Dalton's law of gas states that total pressure of any mixture of gas is sum of the partial pressure of all the gases present in that mixture.
Given that,
Total pressure of mixture = 2.4 atm
Partial pressure of argon = ?
Partial pressure of oxygen = 128 mmHg = 0.168 atm
Partial pressure of helium = 167.5 mmHg = 0.220 atm
Partial pressure of neon = 760 mmHg = 1 atm
On putting all these values according to the definition we get the partial pressure of argon gas as:
Partial pressure of argon = 2.4 - (0.168 + 0.22 + 1) = 1.02 atm
Hence required partial pressure of argon gas is 1.02 atm
