Two gases are combined and sealed in a 2.0 L container. The 3.0 L of argon gas and 1.0 L of xenon gas each exert 1.00 atm pressure on the walls of their container.
(a) Calculate the partial pressure of each gas in the 2.0 L container.
(b) What is the total pressure in the 2.0 L container?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Unless they chemically react with each other, the individual gases in a mixture of gases do not affect each other’s pressure. Each individual gas in a mixture exerts the same pressure that it would exert if it were present alone in the container . The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture is called its partial pressure.
