A mixture of three gases, A, B and C, is at a total pressure of 6.11 atm. The partial
pressure of gas A is 1.68 atm; that of gas B; is 3.89 atm. What is the partial pressure
of gas C?
2.13 atm
2.21 atm
5.57 atm
0.54 atm


Sagot :

The partial pressure of gas C is 0.54atm. The correct option is D.

What is partial pressure?

The pressure that one of the gases in a mixture would exert if it were in the same volume on its own.

The total pressure of A, B and C is 6.11 atm.

The partial pressure of A is 1.68 atm

The partial pressure of B is 3.89 atm.

Total pressure = sum of partial pressures of all the gasses in that mixture

6.11atm = 1.68atm + 3.89atm + Pc

Pc = 6.11atm - (1.68 + 3.89) = 0.54atm

Thus, the partial pressure of C is 0.54atm. The correct option is D.
