Question

A mixture of gas (50% nitrogen and 50% oxygen) at 18°C has a volume of 2500 cm³, and initially it is held at the atmospheric pressure P_atm = 101.3 kPa. The temperature of the gas mixture is first raised to 37°C using a heater while maintaining the same atmospheric pressure, and then, it is compressed until the gauge pressure is 40 cm H₂O while maintaining the same temperature 37°C.

What is the partial pressure of oxygen (in absolute pressure) when the gauge pressure is 40 cm H₂O?

If 40% of the oxygen is replaced by carbon dioxide, find the partial pressure of each gas (nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide). Assume that the gauge pressure is still 40 cm H₂O and the temperature is 37°C.
