what is the partial pressure of nitrogen dioxide gas in psi in a sealed vessel that has a total pressure of 2558 psi and partial pressures of 54.6 bar for carbon dioxide?

Respuesta :

Answer:

121.8bar

Explanation:

The partial pressure is the pressure a gas would exert if it were alone in the volume of the gas mixture;

 Given parameters:

  Total pressure  = 2558psi

   Partial pressure of carbon dioxide  = 54.6bar

Unknown:

Partial pressure of nitrogen dioxide gas  = ?

Solution:

  Total pressure = partial pressure of carbon dioxide + partial pressure of nitrogen dioxide gas

Let us convert from psi to bar;

           14.504psi  = 1 bar

           2558psi  = [tex]\frac{2558}{14.504}[/tex]   = 176.37bar

Now;

Partial pressure of nitrogen oxide = 176.37bar  - 54.6bar  = 121.8bar

Answer:

1766 psi

Explanation:

The first step is to convert 54.6 bar into psi units, which is aproximately 791.9 psi. Next, subtract that from 2558 psi and you will get about 1766 psi.
