Chapter 21, Problem 6QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of ${\text{CO}}_2$

(in $\text{atm}$

) in dry air compound is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The relation between partial pressure and mole fraction of a gas is given by Dalton’s law of partial pressure as follows:

$P_1=x_1.P_{total}$

Here, $P_1\text{and}{x}_1$

are the partial pressure and mole fraction of a gas.
