Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
Dalton's Law states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
Formula:
Ptotal = P1 + P2 + ... + Pn
Where:
* Ptotal is the total pressure of the mixture
* P1, P2, ... Pn are the partial pressures of each individual gas
Calculation:
1. Identify the known values:
* Ptotal = 5.7 ATM
* P1 = 4.1 ATM (partial pressure of one gas)
2. Let P2 represent the partial pressure of the other gas.
3. Apply Dalton's Law:
5.7 ATM = 4.1 ATM + P2
4. Solve for P2:
P2 = 5.7 ATM - 4.1 ATM = 1.6 ATM
Answer: The partial pressure of the other gas is 1.6 ATM.
