Answer:
4.7 atm
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Total pressure (P) = 15.3 atm
Pressure of Helium, P(He) = 3.2 atm
Pressure of Oxygen, P(O) = 7.4 atm
Pressure of Argon, P(Ar) =?
The pressure of Argon, P(Ar) in the tank can be obtained as illustrated below:
P = P(He) + P(O) + P(Ar)
15.3 = 3.2 + 7.4 + P(Ar)
15.3 = 10.6 + P(Ar)
Collect like terms
15.3 – 10.6 = P(Ar)
4.7 = P(Ar)
P(Ar) = 4.7 atm
Therefore, the pressure of Argon, P(Ar) in the tank is 4.7 atm
