Answer:
Total pressure = 4.57 atm
Explanation:
Given data:
Partial pressure of nitrogen = 1.3 atm
Partial pressure of oxygen = 1824 mmHg
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 247 torr
Partial pressure of argon = 0.015 atm
Partial pressure of water vapor = 53.69 kpa
Total pressure = ?
Solution:
First of all we convert the units other into atm.
Partial pressure of oxygen = 1824 mmHg / 760 = 2.4 atm
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 247 torr / 760 = 0.325 atm
Partial pressure of water vapor = 53.69 kpa / 101 = 0.53 atm
Total pressure = Partial pressure of N + Partial pressure of O + Partial pressure of CO₂ + Partial pressure of Ar + Partial pressure of water vapor
Total pressure = 1.3 atm + 2.4 atm + 0.325 atm + 0.015 atm + 0.53 atm
Total pressure = 4.57 atm
