    The partial pressure of the neon gas is 0.48 atm in the flask with total pressure of 1.87 atm.

    Explanation:

    Data given:

    total pressure of all the gases in the flask = 1.87 atm

    partial pressure of krypton gas = 0.77 atm

    partial pressure of helium gas = 0.62 atm.

    partial pressure of neon = ?

    from the data given in question it is deduced that neon gas is also present in the flask.

    from the Dalton's law of pressure:

    Ptotal = pkrypton + phelium + p neon (p = partial pressure of individual gases)

    pneon = Ptotal - pkrypton + p helium

    pneon = 1.87 - (0.77 + 0.62)

    pneon = 1.87 - 1.39

    pneon = 0.48 atm

    The partial pressure of the neon gas is 0.48 atm in the flask.
