Question

A tank contains n2 at 1.0 atm and o2 at 2.0 atm. helium is added to this tank until the total pressure is 6.0 atm. what is the partial pressure of the helium?

Answer 1

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

1.0  atm + 2.0 atm + 3.0 atm = 6.0 atm

 

So the partial pressure of the helium 3.0 atm.

 

I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask again.
