In a tank there is a mixture of air 0.20 miles of oxygen .75 moles of nitrogen .04 moles of water vapor and 0.01 moles of arogon. What is the partial pressure of oxygen if the atmosphere pressure is 755 mmHg
We know the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture of gases is the pressure exerted by that particular gas only.
So the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of partial pressure of all the individual gases present.
Now the partial pressure of an individual gas is calculated as-
