Question

What is the total gas pressure in a sealed flask that contains oxygen at a partial pressure of 0.35 atm and water vapor at a partial pressure of 0.47 atm? atm?

Answer 1

According to Dalton's Law, in a mixture of non-reacting gasses, thetotal pressure exerted is the sum of the partial pressures of the component gasses. In more complicated circumstances, equilibrium states come into effect, but fortunately for us, oxygen is non-reactive with water vapor.
