If the partial pressures of the three gases in the tank are 38.39 atm of O2, 3.38 atm of He, and 25.33 atm of N2, what is the total partial pressure in the tank

Respuesta :

Answer:

67.1 atm

Explanation:

From Dalton's law of Partial Pressures, the total partial pressure equals the sum of the individual partial pressures.

P = P₁ + P₂ + P₃

P₁ = 38.39 atm of O₂

P₂ = 3.38 atm of He

P₃ = 25.33 atm of N₂

So, P = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ = 38.39 atm + 3.38 atm + 25.33 atm = 67.1 atm
