Question

A mixture of two gases with a total pressure of 2.16 atm contains 0.70 atm of Gas A. What is the partial pressure of Gas B in atm?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Concept

We know that, the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of partial pressures of the individual components

That is, When a gaseous mixture contain two components, then the total pressure is given by

P subscript T o t a l end subscript equals P subscript A plus P subscript B................1

Where,

P subscript A equals P a r t i a l space p r e s s u r e space o f space A
P subscript B equals space P a r t i a l space p r e s s u r e space o f space B

Given that,

Total pressure =2.16atm

partial pressure of A=0.70 atm
