The partial pressures of the gases in a miture are 0.00461 atm #O_2#, 1.78 atm #N_2#, and 0.975 atm #Ar#. What is the total pressure of the mixture? Chemistry Gases Gas Pressure 1 Answer anor277 Mar 31, 2017 Answer: The total pressure is simply the sum of the individual partial pressures.......... Explanation: #P_"Total"=P_(O_2)+P_(N_2)+ P_(Ar)# #=(4.61xx10^-2 + 1.78+0.975)*atm# #~=2.76*atm# This is a simple result of #"Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure"#, for which see here.
