Multiple choice

A container is filled with water vapor plus hydrogen and oxygen gases. What is the total pressure of the container if the pressures of the gases are: Water $=0.03\ atm$ Hydrogen $=0.66\ atm$ Oxygen $=0.35\ atm$

  1. $0.007$ atm
  2. $1.04$ atm
  3. $0.13$ atm
  4. $1.97$ atm

B Correct answer
Explanation

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of its individual components. Total = 0.03 + 0.66 + 0.35 = 1.04 atm.

AI explanation

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the total pressure of a mixture of non-reacting gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Adding the given pressures together gives 0.03 atm plus 0.66 atm plus 0.35 atm. This calculation results in a total pressure of 1.04 atm.
