Three samples of gas each exert 740 mm hg in separate 2 l containers what pressure do they exert if they are all placed in a single 4l container?

P(total) = 1110 mmHg

Explanation:

According to the Dalton law of partial pressure,

The pressure exerted by mixture of gases are equal to the sum of partial pressure of individual gases.

P(total) = P1 + P2 + P3+ + Pn

Given data:

Sample A = 740 mmHg

Sample B = 740 mmHg

Sample C = 740 mmHg

Total pressure = ?

Solution:

Sample A:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 740 mmHg × 2L/4L

P₂ = 370 mmHg

Sample B:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 740 mmHg × 2L/4L

P₂ = 370 mmHg

Sample C:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 740 mmHg × 2L/4L

P₂ = 370 mmHg

Total pressure:

P(total) = P1 + P2 + P3

P(total) =  370 mmHg +  370 mmHg+  370 mmHg

P(total) = 1110 mmHg

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
