Chapter 11.7, Problem 12PPA

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of each component and total pressure in the vessel has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation, which describes the association of the four variables $\text{P, V, n, and T}\text{.}$

$\text{PV = nRT}$

• The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure.
• Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the sum force of a combination of gases is equivalent to the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases:

${\text{P}}_{\text{Total}}\text{}{\text{=P}}_{\text{gas 1}}\text{}{\text{+P}}_{\text{gas 2}}\text{}{\text{+P}}_{\text{gas 3}}\text{}\mathrm{....}$
