Question

A 9.00 L container holds a mixture of two gases at 29 °C. The partial pressures of gas A and gas B, respectively, are 0.213 atm and 0.823 atm. If 0.200 mol of a third gas is added with no change in volume or temperature, what will the total pressure become? Ptotal = atm

Step 1

The initial total pressure (\$P_{total, initial}\$) is the sum of the partial pressures of gas A and gas B: \$P_{total, initial} = P_A + P_B\$ Given: \$P_A = 0.213 \text{ atm}\$ \$P_B = 0.823 \text{ atm}\$ So, \$P_{total, initial} = 0.213 \text{ atm} + 0.823 Show more…
