The anesthetic consists of a mixture of cyclopropane gas, C3H6, and oxygen gas , O2. If the mixture has a total pressure of 825 torr, and the partial pressure of the cyclopropane is 73 torr, what is the partial pressure of the oxygen in the anesthetic.
total pressure of the gas mixture = Partial pressure of O2 + Partial pressure of C3H6
now
Partial pressure of O2 = total pressure - partial pressure of C3H6
= 825- 73 torr
= 752 torr
so partial pressure of O2 = 752 torr
