A cylinder of compressed gas is labeled (composition mol %) 4.5% H2S 3.0% CO2 balance N2 The pressure gauge attached to the cylinder reads 46.0 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas in atm.
Added by Scott P.
Step 1
This is according to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures. The total pressure in the cylinder is given as 46.0 atm. The composition of the gases is given in mol %. This means that for every 100 moles of gas in the cylinder, 4.5 moles are H2S, 3.0 moles are CO2, and Show more…

A cylinder of compressed gas is labeled "Composition (mole $\%): 4.5 \% \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S}, 3.0 \% \mathrm{CO}_{2},$ balance $\mathrm{N}_{2} .$ "The pressure gauge attached to the cylinder reads 46 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas, in atmospheres, in the cylinder.

Five gases combined in a gas cylinder have the following partial pressures: 3.00 atm (N2), 1.80 atm (O2), 0.29 atm (Ar), 0.18 atm (He), and 0.10 atm (H). What is the total pressure that is exerted by the gases? Use P subscript T equals P subscript 1 plus P subscript 2 plus P subscript 3 plus ellipsis plus P subscript n.. 5.08 atm 5.19 atm 5.27 atm 5.37 atm

A mixture of gases contains $0.31 \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{CH}_{4}, 0.25$ $\operatorname{mol} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6},$ and $0.29 \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8} .$ The total pressure is 1.50 atm. Calculate the partial pressures of the gases.
