A sealed vessel containing argon, oxygen, nitrogen has a total pressure of 1514 psi and particle pressure of 325 psi for oxygen and 649 psi for nitrogen. What is the partial pressure of argon in psi

The law of partial pressures states that each component exerting pressure contributes to the total, and the sum of these pressures equals the total exertion. This means that the pressure of all three gases added together equals 1514.

X + 325 + 649 = 1514
X=540

The partial pressure of Argon in this system is 540 pounds per square inch.

The partial pressure of argon in psi is 540

What is partial pressure?

The pressure exerted by a individual gases present in the mixture of the gases is called partial pressure.

There is Dalton's law of Partial Pressures which stated as "the total pressure exerted by mixture of the gases is equal to sum of partial pressure of the each individual gases present in the mixture.

Mathematically,

P(total) = P1 + P2 + P3 .....(i)

Where,

P(total) = total pressure

P1 = partial pressure of argon gas.

P2 = partial pressure of oxygen gas.

P3= partial pressure of nitrogen gas.

So, Put the all given value in equation (i), we get

1514 = P1 + 325 + 649

1514 = P1 + 974

P1 = 1514 - 974

P1 = 540 psi
