Chapter 10.12, Problem 1PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of other gases and total pressure of three gases is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation elaborates the physical properties of gases by relating the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles linked with each other with the help of four gas laws. This can be shown by:

$P=\frac{nRT}{V}$

Here, $n$ is a number of moles, $R$ is gas constant, $T$ is temperature, $V$ is volume, and $P$ is pressure.

The conversion of temperature from degree Celsius to kelvin can be done by using the formula given below:

$T\left(\text{K}\right)=T\left(°\text{C}\right)+273.15$

The total pressure can be calculated from Dalton’s law of partial pressure:

$P_{\text{total}}=P_{\text{red}}\text{+}{P}_{\text{green}}\text{+}{P}_{\text{yellow}}$
