. If the partial pressure of argon is 200. torr, what is the pressure of methane, in torr?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of all gases. If the total pressure is not given, we cannot determine the pressure of methane from the partial pressure of argon alone. However, if we assume the total pressure is 700 torr (from the sum of choices), then the pressure of methane would be 500 torr (700 - 200 = 500).
