Question

(Show work) An Erlenmeyer flask contains a mixture of argon neon and krypton gas. what would be the total pressure if Pn=240mmhg Pne=52mmhg and Pkr= 419mmhg?​

Answer 1

The total pressure of the gas mixture is given by the sum of the partial pressures of each gas:

Ptotal = Pn + Pne + Pkr

Substituting the given values:

Ptotal = 240 mmHg + 52 mmHg + 419 mmHg

Ptotal = 711 mmHg

Therefore, the total pressure of the gas mixture is 711 mmHg.
