Answer:
26.2kPa is the partial pressure of nitrogen
Explanation:
<em>Assuming the partial pressure of Carbon dioxide is 0.070atm</em>
<em />
The total pressure of a mixture of 3 gases (CO2, O2 and N2) is:
Total pressure = Partial pressure CO2 + Partial pressure O2 + Partial pressure N2
0.070atm CO2 are:
0.070atm * (760mmHg / 1atm) 53.2mmHg
Replacing:
930mmHg = 53.2mmHg + 680mmHg + Partial pressure N2
Partial Pressure N2 = 196.8mmHg
In kPa -101.325kPa = 760mmHg-
196.8mmHg * (101.325kPa / 760mmHg) =
<h3>26.2kPa is the partial pressure of nitrogen</h3>
