Question

U points ) 8. Dalton's law . A tire contains a mixture of gases with the following partial pressures : kPa , , and Pother gases = 2.30 kPa . Calculate the TOTAL PRESSURE as described by Dalton's law of partial pressure . P N2 =191.3 kPa P O2 =51.3 kDa,P 02 =0.100

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1: Explanation

According to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

P_total = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + P₄ + P₅ +......+P_n

where,Pn ----> the partial pressure of component n
Ptotal ----> the total pressure of the mixture.

Step 2: Calculation

P_O2 = 51.3 kPa

P_CO2 =  0.100 kPa

P_{Other gases} = 2.30 kPa

P_N2 =   191.3 kPa

By using Dalton's Law

P_Total =  P_O2 + P_CO2 + P_{Other gases}  + P_N2

P_Total = 51.3 kPa + 0.100 kPa + 2.30 kPa + 191.3 kPa = 245 kPa

Hence, the total pressure is 245 kPa
