A container holds a mixture of two different gases. The oxygen in a container exerts 38.32 mmHg of pressure on the inside of the container. The total pressure inside the container is 81.21 mmHg. What is the pressure of the other gas in the container?
Question
A container holds a mixture of two different gases. The oxygen in a container exerts 38.32 mmHg of pressure on the inside of the container. The total pressure inside the container is 81.21 mmHg. What is the pressure of the other gas in the container?
Solution
To find the pressure of the other gas in the container, you need to subtract the pressure of the oxygen from the total pressure inside the container.
Here are the steps:
-
Identify the total pressure inside the container. From the problem, we know that the total pressure is 81.21 mmHg.
-
Identify the pressure exerted by the oxygen. From the problem, we know that the oxygen exerts a pressure of 38.32 mmHg.
-
Subtract the pressure of the oxygen from the total pressure to find the pressure of the other gas.
So, 81.21 mmHg (total pressure) - 38.32 mmHg (oxygen pressure) = 42.89 mmHg.
Therefore, the pressure of the other gas in the container is 42.89 mmHg.
