A container is filled with a mixture of gases:

O2, which has a pressure of 1.0 atm.
N2, which has a pressure of 0.75 atm,
And Cl2 at some unknown pressure.
If the total pressure in the container is 3.30 atm, what is the pressure of Cl2?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The pressure of Cl2 is 1, 55 atm.

Explanation:

The sum of the partial pressures of the gases that make up a gaseous mixture is equal to the total pressure of said mixture, according to Dalton's law:

P total = P02 + P N2 + P Cl2

P Cl2= P total - P02 - P N2=3,30 atm-1,0 atm -0,75 atm=1,55 atm
