Four gases were combined in a gas cylinder with these partial pressures: 3.5 atm N2, 2.8 atm O2, 0.25 atm Ar, and 0.15 atm He.

What is the total pressure inside the cylinder?
atm

P(total) =  6.7 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Partial pressure of N₂ = 3.5 atm

Partial pressure of O₂ = 2.8 atm

Partial pressure of Ar = 0.25 atm

Partial pressure of He = 0.15 atm

Total pressure = ?

Solution:

According to the Dalton law of partial pressure,

"The total pressure inside the gas cylinder having mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gas present in it"

Mathematical expression:

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + Pₙ

Now we will determine the total pressure of given gases.

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + P₄

P(total) =P(N₂) + P(O₂) + P(Ar) + P(He)

P(total) = 3.5 atm + 2.8 atm + 0.25 atm + 0.15 atm

P(total) =  6.7 atm

thats a little if u want the answer just look it up on google thats what i do haha : )
