In this question, we have to find the total pressure in the container that has 758 mmHg of pressure of cyclopropane, and 0.483 atm of pressure of Oxygen, the answer must be provided in torr:
First thing we need to do is to transform mmHg of cyclopropane to atm
1 atm = 760 mmHg
x atm = 758 mmHg
x = 0.997 atm of pressure of cyclopropane
Now that we have both pressures in atm, we can add them and then we will find the total pressure:
Ptotal = PO2 + Pcyclo
Ptotal = 0.483 + 0.997
Ptotal = 1.48 atm of total pressure
To transform to torr:
1 atm = 760 torr
1.48 atm = x torr
x = 760 * 1.48
x = 1125 torr of pressure is the total pressure
