Answer:
This can be solved using Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. This law states that the total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture as if it exist alone in a container. In order to solve, we need the partial pressures of the gases given. Calculations are as follows:
Explanation:
P = 3.00 atm + 2.80 atm + 0.25 atm + 0.15 atm
P = 6.8 atm
3.5 atm = x (6.8 atm)
x = 0.51
States of matter are determined by temperature. When the temperature is more cold, the particles move less. The colder the temperature, the more solid something becomes. Because the particles are in fixed positions, they do not move much, they are colder, and they are solid. Also, you cannot pass your hand through locked atoms. If you swipe your hand through water or gas, it parts. Solids, however, are fixed and cannot be passed by without significant force to break it.
