Answer:
P(total) = 1.63 atm
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of container = 7.20 L
Temperature = 29°C
Number of moles of third gas = 0.200 mol
Pressure of gas A = 0.179 atm
Pressure of gas B = 0.749 atm
Total pressure = ?
Solution:
According to the Dalton's law of partial pressure,
"The total pressure exerted by the mixture of gases is the sum of partial pressure of the individual gases"
P(total) = Pâ + Pâ + Pâ +.....Pâ
First of all we will determine the pressure of third gas.
PV = nRT
P = nRT /V
P = 0.200 mol Ă 0.0821 atm.L. molâ»Âč. kâ»Âč Ă 302 K / 7.20 L
P = 5 atm. L / 7.20 L
P = 0.7 atm
P(total) = PA + PB + Pâ
P(total) = 0.179 + 0.749 + 0.7
P(total) = 1.63 atm
