Question
In a gas mixture, which component will have the higher partial pressure- -the one with the higher mole number or the one with the larger molar mass?
Step 1
In a mixture of gases, each gas has a partial pressure which is the hypothetical pressure of that gas if it alone occupied the entire volume of the original mixture at the same temperature. Show more…

The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the partial pressure(s) of the gas with the greatest number of moles. all the gases added together. the gas with the smallest number of moles. the gas with the highest molecular weight. the gas that occupies the largest volume.
