Dalton's Law of Gases

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.

Which equation represents Dalton's Law?

• e=mc2
• PV=nRT
• P1/T1=P2/T2
• Ptotal=P1, P2, P3...

Three gases, Ar, N2 and H2 are mixed in a 500L container. Ar has a pressure of 255 torr, N2 has a pressure of 228torr and H2 has pressure of 752torr. What is the total pressure in the container?

• 483torr
• 270torr
• 1235torr

Calculate the partial pressure of H2 at 20oC when the vapor pressure of water is 17.5torr. The total pressure of the gases is 750torr.

• 767.5torr
• 732torr
• 42.86torr

Dalton's law equation is used to find what?
