Answer:
45.3 KPa
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Total pressure (Pₜ) = 101.3 KPa
Pressure of Hydrogen (Pₕ) = 56 KPa
Pressure of Oxygen (Pₒ) =?
The pressure of oxygen in the mixture can be obtained as follow:
Pₜ = Pₕ + Pₒ
101.3 = 56 + Pₒ
Collect like terms
101.3 – 56 = Pₒ
Pₒ = 45.3 KPa
Thus, the pressure of oxygen in the mixture is 45.3 KPa
