Question

A gas mixture containing oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide has a total pressure of 32.9kPa. If Po2= 6.6kPa and Pn2=23.0 kPa, what is Pco2?

Answer 1

Answer:

The partial pressure of the carbon dioxide is 3,3 kPa.

Explanation:

We apply Dalton's law, according to which the sum of the partial pressures of the gases that make up a gaseous mixture is equal to the total pressure of this:

Ptotal = P N2 + P C02 + P 02

32, 9 kPa= 23, 0 kPa + P C02 + 6, 6Kpa

P C02= 32, 9 kPa - 23, 0 kPa - 6, 6Kpa= 3, 3 kPa

Answer 2

The partial pressure of the carbon dioxide is 3,3 kPa.

Dalton law:

Since a gas mixture containing oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide has a total pressure of 32.9kPa. If Po2= 6.6kPa and Pn2=23.0 kPa

As per this law, here the sum of the partial pressure of the gases that should made the gaseous mixture i.e. equivalent to the total pressure

So,

Ptotal = P N2 + P C02 + P 02

32, 9 kPa= 23, 0 kPa + P C02 + 6, 6Kpa

P C02= 32,

9 kPa - 23,

0 kPa - 6,

6Kpa= 3, 3 kPa
