Chapter 10, Problem 15RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Partial pressure is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Pressure is the applied force per unit area. The mathematical expression for pressure is:

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

Here, $P$ is the pressure, $F$ is the force applied, and $A$ is the area. The SI units of pressure are ${\text{N/m}}^2$ (Newton per meter square) or $\text{Pa}$ (Pascal).
