Chapter 12, Problem 24PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Total pressure of mixture of ${\text{H}}_2$, ${\text{N}}_2$, and ${\text{O}}_2$ gases has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Dalton’s law can be explained as summation of partial pressure of gas in mixture results total pressure of mixture. It can be represented as follows:

  $P_{\text{total}}=P_{\text{X}}+P_{\text{Y}}+P_{\text{Z}}+\mathrm{...}$

Here,

$P_{\text{total}}$ is total partial pressure of mixture.

$P_{\text{X}}$ is partial pressure of $X$.

$P_{\text{Y}}$ is partial pressure of $Y$.

$P_{\text{Z}}$ is partial pressure of $Z$.
