2. the partial pressure of helium

3. the total pressure in the tank at

Mixtures of helium and oxygen are used for scuba diving. For a particular dive, 46 liters of O2 at 25 degrees celsius and 1.0 atm and 12 liters of He at 25 degrees celsius and 1.0 atm are pumped into a tank with a volume of 5.0 liters. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas and the total pressure in the tank at 25 degrees celsius. (Determine moles of each gas first.)

Heliox is a helium-oxygen mixture that may be used in scuba tanks for divers working at great depths. It is also used medically as a breathing treatment. A 6.25-L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 1391 psi. A second 6.25-L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 369.8 psi. The two gases are mixed in a 6.25-L tank. If the temperature remains the same throughout the process, what is the pressure of the gas mixture in the tank? Assume ideal gas behavior.
