4 Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures What is the total pressure in the flask? P total in gas mixture = P A + P B +... Therefore, P total = P(H 2 O) + P(O 2 ) = 0.48 atm Dalton’s Law: total P is sum of PARTIAL pressures. 2 H 2 O 2 (liq) ---> 2 H 2 O(g) + O 2 (g) 0.32 atm 0.16 atm 0.32 atm 0.16 atm
5 Mole Fraction Partial pressure is proportional to the mole fraction of any gas a = __n a _____ = n a _ n a + n b + n c n total a = __P a _ = n a _ P total n total
