    pHe = 3.2 * 10⁻³ atm

    pNe = 2.5 * 10⁻³ atm

    P = 5.7 * 10⁻³ atm

    Explanation:

    Given data

    Volume = 1.00 L

    Temperature = 25°C + 273 = 298 K

    mHe = 0.52 mg = 0.52 * 10⁻³ g

    mNe = 2.05 mg = 2.05 * 10⁻³ g

    The molar mass of He is 4.00 g/mol. The moles of He are:

    0.52 * 10⁻³ g * (1 mol / 4.00 g) = 1.3 * 10⁻⁴ mol

    We can find the partial pressure of He using the ideal gas equation.

    P * V = n * R * T

    P * 1.00 L = 1.3 * 10⁻⁴ mol * (0.082 atm. L/mol. K) * 298 K

    P = 3.2 * 10⁻³ atm

    The molar mass of Ne is 20.18 g/mol. The moles of Ne are:

    2.05 * 10⁻³ g * (1 mol / 20.18 g) = 1.02 * 10⁻⁴ mol

    We can find the partial pressure of Ne using the ideal gas equation.

    P * V = n * R * T

    P * 1.00 L = 1.02 * 10⁻⁴ mol * (0.082 atm. L/mol. K) * 298 K

    P = 2.5 * 10⁻³ atm

    The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures.

    P = 3.2 * 10⁻³ atm + 2.5 * 10⁻³ atm = 5.7 * 10⁻³ atm
