Gas Laws and Partial Pressure Problems

A container holds three gases: oxygen, carbon dioxide, and helium. The partial pressures of the three gases are 2.00 atm, 3.00 atm, and 4.00 atm, respectively. What is the total pressure inside the container?

• 2 atm
• 4 atm
• 3 atm
• 9 atm

A mixture of hydrogen, nitrogen, and water vapor has a total pressure of 864 mmHg. The partial pressure of hydrogen is 220 mmHg and that of nitrogen is 410 mmHg. What is the partial pressure of water vapor?

• 234 mmHg
• 1.37 mmHg
• 2.64 mmHg
• 1, 494 mmHg

Real gases deviate from ideal gas behavior because real gas particles have

• volume and some attraction for each other
• no volume and no attraction for each other
• no volume but some attraction for each other
• volume but no attraction for each other

Dalton's Law states...

• that at a constant temperature the volume of a confined ideal gas varies inversely with its pressure.
• that the total pressure exerted by the mixture of non-reactive gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of individual gases
• how gases tend to expand when heated
• that the density of an ideal gas at constant pressure varies inversely with the absolute temperature of the gas.

Given an atmospheric pressure of 1.85 atm, what would be the pressure in mmHg?

• 1406 mmHg

• 0.00243 mmHg

• 187 mmHg

• 27.2 mmHg

A container is filled with H₂, and H₂O. Calculate the partial pressure of H₂ when the pressure of water is 17 torr. The total pressure of the gases is 750 torr.

• 767.5torr
• 733torr
• 42.86torr

A balloon with a volume of 200 mL at 30 ^οC is submerged in hot water to obtain a temperature of 50 ^οC.  What will happen to the volume of the balloon if the pressure remains the same?

• the volume of the balloon will become higher than 200 mL
• the volume of the balloon will become lower than 200 mL
• the volume of the balloon will stay the same
• there is no enough data
