Chapter 6, Problem 6.58E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure in $\text{torr}$ of the carbon dioxide in the given mixture is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Dalton’s law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each gas present in the gaseous mixture system. The Dalton’s law of partial pressure is mathematically represented as,

$P_{\text{t}}=p_1+p_2+p_3$ …(1)

Where,

• $p_1$ represents the partial pressure of gas $1$.

• $p_2$ represents the partial pressure of gas $2$.

• $p_3$ represents the partial pressure of gas $3$.
