Answer:
13.94 atm
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Pressure of H₂ = 2 atm
Pressure of NH₃ = 303 KPa
Pressure of CO₂ = 3000 mmHg
Pressure of N₂ = 3800 torr
Total pressure (Pₜ) in atm =?
Next, we shall convert 303 KPa, 3000 mmHg and 3800 torr to atm.
This can be obtained as follow:
Converting 303 KPa to atm
101.325 KPa = 1 atm
Therefore,
303 KPa = 303 KPa × 1 atm / 101.325 KPa
303 KPa = 2.99 atm
Thus, 303 KPa is equivalent to 2.99 atm.
Converting 3000 mmHg to atm
760 mmHg = 1 atm
Therefore,
3000 mmHg = 3000 mmHg × 1 atm / 760 mmHg
3000 mmHg = 3.95 atm
Thus, 3000 mmHg is equivalent to 3.95 atm
Converting 3800 torr to atm
760 torr = 1 atm
Therefore,
3800 torr = 3800 torr × 1 atm / 760 torr
3800 torr = 5 atm
Thus, 3800 torr is equivalent to 5 atm.
Finally, we shall determine the total pressure of the mixture as follow:
Pressure of H₂ (P₁) = 2 atm
Pressure of NH₃ (P₂) = 2.99 atm
Pressure of CO₂ (P₃) = 3.95 atm
Pressure of N₂ (P₄) = 5 atm
Total pressure (Pₜ) in atm =?
Pₜ = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + P₄
Pₜ = 2 + 2.99 + 3.95 + 5
Pₜ = 13.94 atm
Therefore, the total pressure of the mixture is 13.94 atm
