D.A student mixes 2 gases into a sealed container. The first gas has a partial
pressure of 46.4 kPa. What is the partial pressure of the second gas if the
container pressure is 72.6 kPa?

Respuesta :

Answer:

26.2 kPa.

Explanation:

To find the partial pressure of the second gas, we can subtract the partial pressure of the first gas from the total pressure of the container. Here's the calculation:

[tex] \text{Partial pressure of the second gas} = \text{Total pressure} - \text{Partial pressure of the first gas} [/tex]

[tex] \text{Partial pressure of the second gas} = 72.6\ kPa - 46.4\ kPa [/tex]

[tex] \text{Partial pressure of the second gas} = 26.2\ kPa [/tex]

So, the partial pressure of the second gas in the container is 26.2 kPa.
