If a mixture of gases contained 78% nitrogen at a pressure of 984 torr and 22% carbon dioxide at 345 torr, what is the total pressure of the system?

Respuesta :

Neetoo

Answer:

P(total) = 1329 torr

Explanation:

Given data:

Pressure of nitrogen = 984 torr

Pressure of carbon dioxide = 345 torr

Total pressure of system = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Dalton law of partial pressure of gases.

According to the this law,

The total pressure exerted by the mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressure of individual gas.

Mathematical expression,

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ +.......+ Pₙ

Here we will put the values in formula,

P₁ = partial pressure of nitrogen

P₂ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide

P(total) = 984 torr + 345 torr

P(total) = 1329 torr
