what is the pressure of a mixture of co2, so2, and h2o gasses, if each gas has a partial pressure of 25 kpa?

Verified Answer :

Are three mixtures:

CO₂ , SO₂ , H₂O  so :

25 Kpa x 3 =  75 Kpa


Answer: 75 kPa

Explanation: According to Dalton's law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of individual pressures exerted by the constituent gases.

\(p_{total}=p_A+p_B+p_C\)

Thus \(p_{total}=p_{CO_2}+p_{SO2}+p_{H_2O}\)

Given:

\(p_{CO_2}=25kPa\)

\(p_{SO_2}=25kPa\)

\(p_{H_2O}= 25kPa\)

Thus \(p_{total}=25Pa+25kPa+25kPa\)

\(p_{total}=75kPa\)

Thus the pressure of mixture of gases is 75 kPa.
