Question

A container with oxygen, xenon and helium has a total pressure of 1436.4kPa. If the pressure of the helium is 348.1kPa and the pressure of the oxygen is 516.8kPa, what is the pressure (kPa) of the xenon?

Answer 1

The partial pressure of xenon is 571.5 KPa if the total pressure is 1436.4kPa.

What is partial pressure?

The pressure exerted by a (specified) component in a mixture of gases.

According to Dalton's law of partial pressure, the net pressure of a gaseous mixture is always equal to the sum of the partial pressures of individual gases.

Now we are given that the total pressure is 1436.4kPa

The partial pressure of helium is 348.1kPa

The partial pressure of oxygen is 516.8kPa

Partial Pressure of xenon?

Using dalton's law;

1436.4kPa = 348.1kPa + 516.8kPa + partial pressure of xenon

The partial pressure of xenon is 571.5 KPa.
