Chapter 10, Problem 18RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given values of partial pressure belong to which of the given mixtures is to be determined. The partial pressures of gas A and gas B in the given systems is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Pressure is the force applied 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 unit of pressure is ${\text{N/m}}^2$(newton per meter square) or $\text{Pa}$(pascal).
