Question

A mixture of two gases with a total pressure of 3.26 atm contains 0.70 atm of Gas A. What is the partial pressure of Gas B in atm?

Answer 1

• Let partial pressure of Gas B be P

ATQ

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow A+B=3.26$

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow P+0.7=3.26$

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow P=3.26-0.7$

$\\ \sf\hookrightarrow P=2.56atm$
