A tank contains helium gas at 490. mmHg, nitrogen gas at 0.750 atm, and neon at 520. Torr. What is the total pressure in atm?
A) 2.08 atm B) 0.579 atm C) 1.01 × 103 atm D) 1.33 atm E) 1.60 × 103 atm How is this done please?
answer : A) 2.08 atm
explanation:
just convert all pressure into atm
760 mmHg = 1 atm
760 torr = 1atm
He pressure = 490 mmHg = 490 / 760 atm
= 0.645 atm
N2 pressure = 0.750 atm
Ne pressure = 520 torr
= 0.684 atm
total pressure = 0.684 + 0.750 + 0.645
= 2.08 atm
