Answer:
1.20atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Partial pressure of gas 1 = 0.35atm
Partial pressure of gas 2 = 0.20atm
Partial pressure of gas 3 = 0.65atm
Unknown:
Total pressure of the gas mixture = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to recall and understand the Dalton's law of partial pressure.
Dalton's law of partial pressure states that "the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the constituent gases".
Total pressure =Pressure of gas(1 + 2 + 3)
The partial pressure is the pressure a gas would exert if it alone occupied the volume of the gas mixture.
Now we substitute;
Total pressure = (0.35 + 0.20 + 0.65)atm = 1.20atm
