Summary Introduction

To explain:

The partial pressure of a mixture of gases according to Dalton’s law and the pressure of water vapor.

Introduction:

The Dalton’s law suggests that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each gas in the mixture. Here, the partial pressure is the individual pressure of each gas.

According to Dalton’s law, what is the partial pressure of amixture of gases? What is water vapor pressure?
Calculate pressure using Dalton's law of partial pressures. A gas mixture is made up of N2 (6.91 g), 02 (7.95 g), and H2 (0.850 g). The mixture has a volume of 27.1 L at 27 °C. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture and the total pressure of the gas mixture. PN2 = P02 PH = H2 = Ptotal atm atm atm atm
The vapour pressure of water at blood temperature is 47 Torr. What is the partial pressure of dry air in our lungs when the total pressure is 760 Torr?
