Answer:

The total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world is 253.5 torr

Explanation:

The partial pressures of the gases present at the top of Mount Everest are;

Nitrogen, N₂ = 201.0 torr

Oxygen, O₂ = 50.0 torr

Argon, Ar = 2.0 torr

Carbon dioxide, CO₂ = 0.5 torr

By Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure that a mixture of gases exerts is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases

Mathematically, the law can be expressed as follows;

Total pressure, P = ∑P_i = P₁ + P₂ + · · ·

From which we have;

The total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest, P_{Total Mont Everest} = The sum of the partial pressures of N₂, O₂, Ar, and CO₂

P_{Total Mont Everest} = 201.0 torr + 50.0 torr + 2.0 torr + 0.5 torr = 253.5 torr

P_{Total Mont Everest} = 253.5 torr = 0.33355263 atmosphere

Therefore, the total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world,  P_{Total Mont Everest} = 253.5 torr

Salsk061 [2.6K]
It is called exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light and it is called combustion reaction because it is reacting and is being oxidised by O2 to MgO. It can also be called as oxidation reaction since Mg is oxidised to MgO.
