Answer:
24 atm is the total pressure exerted by the gases
Explanation:
We propose this situation:
In a vessel, we have 4 gases (for example, hydrogen, Xe, methane and chlorine)
Each of the gases has the same pressure:
6 atm → hydrogen
6 atm → xenon
6 atm → methane
6 atm → chlorine
To determine the total pressure, we sum all of them:
Partial pressure H₂ + Partial pressure Xe + Partial pressure CH₄ + Partial pressure Cl₂ = Total P
6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm = 24atm
