Answer:
PN₂ = 191.3 Kpa
Explanation:
Given data:
Total pressure of tire = 245.0 Kpa
Partial pressure of PO₂ = 51.3 Kpa
Partial pressure of PCO₂ = 0.10 Kpa
Partial pressure of others = 2.3 Kpa
Partial pressure of PN₂ = ?
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
Now we will solve this problem by using this law.
P(total) = PO₂ + PCO₂ + P(others)+ PN₂
245 Kpa = 51.3 Kpa + 0.10 Kpa + 2.3 Kpa + PN₂
245 Kpa = 53.7 Kpa+ PN₂
PN₂ = 245 Kpa - 53.7 Kpa
PN₂ = 191.3 Kpa
