What is the total pressure in the flask mm Hg

Answer 1

Answer:

P(total) = 164 mmHg

Explanation:

Given data:

Partial pressure of helium = 77 mmHg

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 87 mmHg

Total pressure of flask = ?

Solution:

According to Dalton law of partial pressure,

The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.

Mathematical expression:

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ

Now we will solve this  problem by using this law.

P(total) = P(He) + P(N₂)

P(total) =  77 mmHg + 87 mmHg

P(total) = 164 mmHg
