A mixture of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen exerts a total pressure of 378 kPa. If the partial pressures of oxygen and hydrogen are 212 kPa and 101 kPa respectively, what is the partial pressure exerted by nitrogen?

Respuesta :

What's the relationship between total and partial pressure? The total pressure is the sum of the parcial pressures!


So for us, it would be:

378= 212+101+x

where x is the parcial pressure of nitrogen.

Now we count:
378= 212+101+x
378=313+x
378-313=x
65=x

So the parcial pressure exerted by nitrogen is 65!
