13. A container holds 3 gases: oxygen, carbon dioxide, and helium. The partial presure of the three gases are 2.00 atm, 3.00 atm, and 4.00 atm, respectively.
What is the total pressure inside the container?
Please show work and use significant figures.

it's very simple...
total pressure=partial pressure A + partial pressure B + partial pressure C
Total Pressure=2atm+3atm+4atm=9 atm
because the partial pressure of one of the gases in a mixture is the pressure which it would exert if it alone occupied the whole container.

The total pressure will just be the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. So, just add the three pressures together to get the total pressure.

it relatively is a appropriate gas regulation situation. PV = nRT you may seem up the gas consistent, R. you're given the style of moles, n. Convert temperature to Kelvin. you may could seem up the conversion of rigidity from atm to Pa. resolve your equation.
