Question

Problem: The three main components of air are carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen. In a sample containing a mixture of these gases (at STP) the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and nitrogen are given as 28.5 mmHg and 593.525 mmHg, respectively.

1. What is the partial pressure of oxygen?

2. What gas law should be applied in solving Problem 1?

Definition Definition Any of various laws that describe the ways in which volume, temperature, pressure, and other conditions correlate when matter is in a gaseous state. At a constant temperature, the pressure of a particular amount of gas is inversely proportional with its volume (Boyle's Law) In a closed system with constant pressure, the volume of an ideal gas is in direct relation with its temperature (Charles's Law) At a constant volume, the pressure of a gas is in direct relation to its temperature (Gay-Lussac's Law) If the volume of all gases are equal and under the a similar temperature and pressure, then they contain an equal number of molecules (Avogadro's Law) The state of a particular amount of gas can be determined by its pressure, volume and temperature (Ideal Gas law)
