Question

A gas sample is prepared in which the components have the following partial pressures: nitrogen, 555 mmHg; oxygen, 149 mmHg; water vapor, 13 mmHg; argon, 7 mmHg. What is the total pressure of this mixture?

Answer 1

The total pressure is 724 mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to know the total pressure of the mixture, you must sum each partial pressure.

555 mmHg + 149 mmHg + 13 mmHg + 7 mmHg = 724 mmHg
