Chapter 8, Problem 50QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Total pressure of the mixture has to be determined using the given data.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas Equation is given below,

  $\text{PV = nRT}$

Here,

  n is the moles of gas

    P is the Pressure

  V is the Volume

    T is the Temperature

    R is the gas constant

Molar mass can be determined using the given equation,

  $\text{n}\text{= }\frac{\text{m}}{\text{M}}$

Here, n is the number of moles.

  M is the Molar mass.

    m is the Mass.

Dalton’s law of partial pressure:

According to this law, the total pressure exerted by each gas in a mixture is equal to the sum of the individual partial pressure of the gases.

Partial pressure: It is the pressure of each gas in a mixture of gases.
