A sample of gas contains four gases with the following partial pressures: He (113 mm Hg),Ne (184 mm Hg),Ar (35 mm Hg),and Xe (445 mm Hg). What is the total pressure of the sample?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total pressure of a gas mixture can be found by adding the partial pressures of all the gases present. Therefore, the total pressure is 113 mm Hg (He) + 184 mm Hg (Ne) + 35 mm Hg (Ar) + 445 mm Hg (Xe) = 777 mm Hg.
