Answer:
P(total) = 164 mmHg
Explanation:
Given data:
Partial pressure of helium = 77 mmHg
Partial pressure of nitrogen = 87 mmHg
Total pressure of flask = ?
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) = P(He) + P(N₂)
P(total) = 77 mmHg + 87 mmHg
P(total) = 164 mmHg
