Question

Industrial deep-sea divers must breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen to prevent a disorienting condition known
as nitrogen narcosis. If a diver's tank is filled with a helium-oxygen mixture to a pressure of 170 atmospheres and the
partial pressure of helium is 110 atmospheres, the partial pressure of the oxygen is -

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Explanation:

Answer 2

If a diver's tank is filled with a helium-oxygen mixture to a pressure of 170 atm and the partial pressure of helium is 110 atm, the partial pressure of the oxygen is 60 atm.

What is Dalton's theory?

Dalton's theory of partial pressure states that total pressure of any mixture of gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas present in that.

Given that total pressure of mixture = 170 atm

Partial pressure of helium = 110 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen = 170 - 110 = 60 atm

Hence partial pressure of oxygen gas is 60 atm.
