Question

What is the total pressure exerted by a mixture containing two gases if the partial pressure of one gas is 70 kPa and the partial

pressure of the other gas is 30 kPa?
A) 70 kPa
B) 40 kPa
100 kPa
D) 30 kPa

Answer 1

C) 100 kPa

The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas. In this case, the partial pressure of the first gas is 70 kPa and the partial pressure of the second gas is 30 kPa. Therefore, the total pressure exerted by the mixture is 70 kPa + 30 kPa = 100 kPa. The answer is C) 100 kPa.
