A gas mixture has three components: N2, F2 and He. Their partial pressures are 0.60 atm, 0.16 atm, and 0.18 atm. What is the pressure of the gas mixture?

Answer 1

Dalton's Law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the individual partial pressures of each gas present.

P_T = pN₂ + pF₂ + pHe

P_T = 0.60 + 0.16 + 0.18 = 0.94 atm
