Question

A tank held neon gas at a pressure of 450 KPA, helium at a pressure of 175KPA and argon at a pressure of 210 kpa. what was the total pressure in the tank

Answer 1

To find the total pressure in the tank, we need to add up the pressures of the individual gases.

Total pressure = pressure of neon + pressure of helium + pressure of argon

Total pressure = 450 kPa + 175 kPa + 210 kPa

Total pressure = 835 kPa

Therefore, the total pressure in the tank was 835 kPa.
