Heliox diving


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 134 People


A heliox deep-sea diving mixture delivers an oxygen partial pressure of 0.10 atm when the total pressure is 12.5 atm . What is the partial pressure of helium in this mixture?

Answered by maham237 @



Answer : The partial pressure of helium in this mixture is, 12.4 atm.

Explanation : Given,

Partial pressure of oxygen = 0.10 atm

Total partial pressure = 12.5 atm

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of helium.

According to the Dalton's law, the total pressure of the gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the mixture of gasses.

P_T=p_{He}+p_{O_2}

where,

P_T = total partial pressure = 12.5 atm

P_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen = 0.10 atm

P_{He} = partial pressure of hydrogen = ?

Now put all the given values is expression, we get the partial pressure of the helium gas.

12.5atm=p_{He}+0.10atm

p_{He}=12.4atm

Therefore, the partial pressure of helium in this mixture is, 12.4 atm.
