Five gases combined in a gas cylinder have the following partial pressures: 3.00 atm (N2), 1.80 atm (O2), 0.29 atm (Ar), 0.18 atm (He), and 0.10 atm (H). What is the total pressure that is exerted by the gases? Use

The total pressure in the gas cylinder is 5.37 atm

Explanation:

We need to know this, before we start

Partial pressure = Pressure for 1 gas in the mixture

Total pressure = Sum of partial pressures from the gases at the mixture

3.00 atm (N2), 1.80 atm (O2), 0.29 atm (Ar), 0.18 atm (He), and 0.10 atm (H)

Total pressure = Partial pressure N₂ + Partial pressure O₂ + Partial pressure Ar + Partial pressure He + Partial pressure H₂

Total pressure = 3 atm + 1.8 atm + 0.29 atm + 0.18 atm + 0.1 atm

Total pressure = 5.37 atm
