Question

What is the total pressure of a container in kpa if the partial pressures are 1.25 atm and 66.7 psi?

Answer 1

Answer:

586 kpa(kilopascal/1000 pascals)

Explanation:

given 1.24 atm(standard atmosphere), and 66.7 psi(pound force per square inch).

To find the total pressure we should use dalton's law of partial pressures which is the sum of the pressures of each individual gas.

then we convert them to pascals and divide by 1000 to get the measurement in kilopascal.

knowing that 1 atmosphere is proportional to around 14.696 psi. We can multiply our given measure of atm by that and sum it by psi like so. 1.24×14.6959 = 18.22298.

Then,

18.22298+ 66.7 = 84.92298

psi.

Since 1 psi is proportional to around 6894.76 pascals. 1 psi will be 68.9476 kilopascal. 84.92298 * 6.89476 = 585.523336 ≈ 586
