Question

Suppose two gasses in a container have a total pressure of 1.20 atm. What is the pressure of Gas B if the partial pressure of Gas is 0.75 atm?

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

As per Dalton's law of partial pressures, total pressure is equal to summation of individual partial pressure.

Based on above statement, we can say that Ptotal_{total} = PGasA_{Gas A} + PGasB_{Gas B}

Given Ptotal_{total} = 1.20 atm\mathrm{atm} and PGasA_{Gas A} = 0.75 atm\mathrm{atm}, therefore PGasB_{Gas B} = 1.20 - 0.75 = 0.45 atm\mathrm{atm}
