Answer:
partial pressure of gas D Pd = 15.5 kPa
Explanation:
As per the Dalton's law of partial pressure, in a mixture, pressure exerted by each gas when summed gives the total partial pressure exerted by mixture.
P(Total) = P1+P2+P3.....
Given P(Total) = 35.7 kPa
Partial pressure of gas A Pa = 7.8 kPa
Partial pressure of gas B Pb = 3.7 kPa
Partial pressure of gas C Pc = 8.7 kPa
There, Partial pressure of gas D Pd = P(Total) -(Pa+Pb+Pc)
Pd = 35.7-(7.8+3.7+8.7) = 35.7-20.2 kPa = 15.5 kPa
Therefore, partial pressure of gas D Pd = 15.5 kPa
