If the air in a container contains 92.94% oxygen, what is the partial pressure of oxygen in the container if the total pressure 28.84 atm?
Question
If the air in a container contains 92.94% oxygen, what is the partial pressure of oxygen in the container if the total pressure 28.84 atm?
Solution
To find the partial pressure of oxygen, we need to multiply the total pressure by the percentage of oxygen.
Step 1: Convert the percentage of oxygen to a decimal. 92.94% = 0.9294
Step 2: Multiply the total pressure by the decimal equivalent of the percentage. 28.84 atm * 0.9294 = 26.81 atm
So, the partial pressure of oxygen in the container is 26.81 atm.
