Answer:
P₃ = 594.1 mmHg
Explanation:
Given data:
Total pressure of container = 1439 mmHg
Partial pressure of 1st gas = 523.3 mmHg
Partial pressure of 2nd gas = 509.8 mmHg
Partial pressure of 3rd gas = ?
Solution:
According to Dalton law of partial pressure,
The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.
Mathematical expression:
P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ
Now we will solve this problem by using this law.
P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃
439 mmHg = 523.3 mmHg + 509.8 mmHg + P₃
439 mmHg = 1033.1 mmHg + P₃
P₃ = 1033.1 mmHg -439 mmHg
P₃ = 594.1 mmHg
