Chapter 8, Problem 53QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Partial pressure of $CO$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law:

At fixed temperature and number of molecules, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{P}\propto \frac{\text{1}}{\text{V}}\left(\text{n}\text{,}\text{T}\text{will}\text{be}\text{constant}\right)\\ \\ \text{PV}\text{=}\text{constant}\\ \\ {\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}\text{=}{\text{P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}\end{array}$
