Question

PLEASE HELP

1. A closed bottle contains a mixture of Ar and O2 at 25.3°C. If the partial pressure of Ar in
the bottle is 0.447 atm and the total pressure of the bottle is 1.024 atm, what is the partial
pressure of O2 in the bottle?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.79 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ideal Gas Law is PV=nRT.

since both Ar and O2 have the same volume and temperature, the only variable causing the differnce in pressure betwwen the 2 gases is the number of moles

the total pressure = the partial pressure of Ar + the partial pressure of O2

1.024 atm = 0.447 amt + ?

so

? = 1.24 -0,447 = 1.24 - 0.45= 0.79 atm

the total pressure of the bottle is 1.024 atm, what is the partial

pressure of O2 in the bottle? is PV
