Five gases combined in a gas cylinder have the following partial pressures: 3.00 atm (N2), 1.80 atm (O2), 0.29 atm (Ar), 0.18 atm (He), and 0.10 atm (H). What is the total pressure that is exerted by the gases? Use mc020-1.jpg.

In order to solve the total pressure that is exerted by the gases, we need to use the Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. These are the calculations that you need to find out the total amount of pressure exerted to the gases:

3.00atm (N2) + 1.80atm (O2) + 0.29atm (Ar) + 0.18atm (He) + 0.10atm (H),
add up all of that, and the answer would turn out to be: 5.37atm.
