Chapter 8 - Section 8.7 - Partial Pressure (Dalton's Law) - Questions and Problems - Page 275: 8.48

Answer

The total pressure exerted by this gas mixture is equal to 615 mmHg.

Work Step by Step

1. Identify the equation that we will use to solve this problem. - The sum of the partial pressures. $P_{total} = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + ...$ 2. Substitute the given values into the equation, and calculate the total pressure: $P_{total} = 415 \space mmHg + 75 \space mmHg + 125 \space mmHg$ $P_{total} = 615 \space mmHg$
