Question

12. If the total pressure exerted by 3 gases is 45 atm and each individual gas has the

Answer 1

Answer:

Partial pressure for each of the three gases, in the mixture is 15 atm

Explanation:

Remember that the total pressure of a mixture, is the sum of partial pressures from the gases contained in the mixture.

Our total pressure = 45 atm

The 3 gases have the same pressure, so we can propose this equation:

3x = 45 atm

where x is the partial pressure for each of the three gases.

x = 45/3 → 15 atm
