A cyclopropane-oxygen mixture is used as an anesthetic. If the partial pressure of cyclopropane in the mixture is 334 mmHg and the partial pressure of the oxygen is 1.02 atm, what is the total pressure of the mixture in torr?

Answer:

Total pressure = 1109.2 torr

Explanation:

Given data:

Partial pressure of cyclopropane = 334 mmHg

Partial pressure pressure of oxygen = 1.02 atm

Total pressure of mixture = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Total pressure = P of C₃H₆ + P of O₂

1 atm = 760 torr = 760 mmHg

1.02 atm × 760 torr / 1atm = 775.2 torr

Total pressure = P of C₃H₆ + P of O₂

Total pressure = 334 torr + 775.2 torr

Total pressure = 1109.2 torr
