Question

11. If four gases in a cylinder each exert 6 atm, what is the total pressure exerted by the

gases?​

Answer 1

24 atm is the total pressure exerted by the gases

Step-by-step explanation:

We propose this situation:

In a vessel, we have 4 gases (for example, hydrogen, Xe, methane and chlorine)

Each of the gases has the same pressure:

6 atm → hydrogen

6 atm → xenon

6 atm → methane

6 atm → chlorine

To determine the total pressure, we sum all of them:

Partial pressure H₂ + Partial pressure Xe + Partial pressure CH₄ + Partial pressure Cl₂ = Total P

6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm = 24atm
