  5. Dalton’s Law Applied Suppose you are given four containers – three filled with noble gases. The first 1 L container is filled with argon and exerts a pressure of 2 atm. The second 3 liter container is filled with krypton and has a pressure of 380 mm Hg. The third 0.5 L container is filled with xenon and has a pressure of 607.8 kPa. If all these gases were transferred into an empty 2 L container…what would be the pressure in the “new” container? PKr = 380 mm Hg Ptotal = ? PAr = 2 atm Pxe 607.8 kPa V = 1 liter V = 3 liters V = 0.5 liter V = 2 liters

  6. …just add them up PKr = 380 mm Hg Ptotal = ? PAr = 2 atm Pxe 607.8 kPa V = 1 liter V = 3 liters V = 0.5 liter V = 2 liters Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures “Total Pressure = Sum of the Partial Pressures” PT = PAr + PKr + PXe + … P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 (0.5 atm) (3L) = (X atm) (2L) (6 atm) (0.5 L) = (X atm) (2L) PKr = 0.75 atm Pxe = 1.5 atm PT = 1 atm + 0.75 atm + 1.5 atm PT = 3.25 atm
