If some argon gas at 400 mm Hg pressure is forced into a gas cylinder that already contained only neon gas at 400 mm Hg pressure,the total pressure in the cylinder would now be 800 mm Hg.

Question

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures exerted by each gas alone. Therefore, if argon gas is added to a gas cylinder containing only neon gas at the same pressure, the total pressure in the cylinder would be the sum of the pressures exerted by each gas, which is 400 mm Hg + 400 mm Hg = 800 mm Hg.
