Partial Pressure

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

The partial pressures of CH₄, N₂, and O₂ in a sample of gas were found to be 135 mm Hg, 508 mm Hg, and 571 mm Hg, respectively. Calculate the mole fraction of nitrogen.

• 20.4

• 0.470

• 0.418

• 0.751

Under what conditions does a real gas behave most like an ideal gas?

• at high temperatures and low pressure
• at high temperatures and high pressures
• at low temperatures and low pressure
• at low temperatures and high pressure

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.

• Helium
• Nitrogen 
• Oxygen
• All have the same number of molecules
