Chapter 6, Problem 6.39UKC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of nitrogen at $\text{3}\text{atm}$ pressure has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

The partial pressure of any gas in a gaseous mixture is defined as the pressure that the gas would exert if the gas presents in the same container and at the same pressure.

The partial pressure of the gas in air can be calculated as,

  $\text{partial}\text{pressure=mole}\text{fraction}\text{×}\text{total}\text{pressure}$
