Question

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP PLEASE!!!!

A flask contains carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases. The partial pressures of each are 2235 psi and 1125 psi, respectively.
What is the total pressure in the flask in psi?​

Answer 1

Answer: 3360

Step-by-step explanation:

it’s really simple actually, it’s just addition

Answer 2

P(total) = 3360 psi

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Dalton law of partial pressure:

The pressure of gas is sum of the partial pressure of each components.

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ +.... + Pₙ

Given data:

Partial pressure of CO = 2235 psi

Partial pressure of CO₂ = 1125 psi

Total pressure = ?

Solution:

P(total) = P(CO) + P (CO)

P(total) = 2235 psi + 1125 psi

P(total) = 3360 psi
