Answer:
Total pressure = 759 mmHg
Explanation:
Given data:
Partial pressure of oxygen = 165 mmHg
Partial pressure of nitrogen = 594 mmHg
Total pressure = ?
Solution:
According to Dalton law of partial pressure,
The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.
Mathematical expression:
P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ
Total pressure = P(O₂) + P(N₂)
Total pressure = 165 mmHg + 594 mmHg
Total pressure = 759 mmHg
