Question

g Air contains nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and trace gases. If the partial pressure of nitrogen is 592 mm Hg, oxygen is 160 mm Hg, argon is 7 mm Hg, and trace gas is 1 mm Hg, what is the atmospheric pressure

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Atmospheric pressure = partial pressure of nitrogen + partial pressure of oxygen + partial pressure of argon + partial pressure of trace element

putting the given values

Atmospheric pressure = 592 + 160 + 7 + 1

= 760 mm of Hg .
