Answer: the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
Explanation:
According to Dalton's Law of partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures which each individual gas would exert if it were confined alone in the volume occupied by the mixture.
Hence, Ptotal = P1+ P2
where Ptotal is the total pressure
P1 and P2 are the partial pressures exerted seperately by the individual gases 1 and 2 that make up the mixture.
In this item, it is assumed that we are to express the given compound in their ionic form. To be able to determine as to what ions this compound will dissociate into, we have the chemical reaction.
HNO3 --> H⁺ + NO₃⁻
Hence, the ions are H⁺, NO₃⁻.
The reaction is not balanced
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
2Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)
Required
The number of atoms
Solution
In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms in the compound that reacts (the reactants and products) will have the same number
Reactants : Fe(s)+O₂(g)
Fe = 2 atoms
O = 3 x 2 = 6 atoms
Products : Fe₂O₃(s)
Fe = 2 x 2 = 4 atoms
O = 2 x 3 = 6 atoms
The reaction is not balanced because the number of Fe atoms is not the same
The balanced reaction should be:
4Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)
Explanation:
The molar mass of the compounds are incorrect
