Step 1

The total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas. In this case, we have: Total pressure = Pressure of N2 + Pressure of O2 + Pressure of He Total pressure = 215 torr + 102 torr + 117 torr Total pressure = 434 torr Show more…

Key Concepts

Molar Mass and Mole Concept

This concept relates the mass of a substance to the number of moles through its molar mass. Once the number of moles of a gas is calculated using the Ideal Gas Law, the mass of the gas can be determined by multiplying these moles by the respective molar mass of the gas.

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

This principle states that in a mixture of non-reactive gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas. It allows us to calculate the overall pressure of the gas mixture by adding the individual contributions from each gas present.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law, expressed as PV = nRT, relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas. It is essential for determining the number of moles of each gas when given the conditions of a container, and subsequently for further calculations such as mass determination.
