Answer to Question #302399 in General Chemistry for ACE

Question

two containers of the same volume contain respectively a sample of oxygen at 1.52*10^(5)Nm^(-2) and a sample of nitrogen at 1.01*10^(5)Nm^(-2), what will be the pressure if both gases are held in the same container at the same temperature

Answer 1

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure states the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each individual gas

Pressure =367.5mmHg
