Blast furnaces give off many unpleasant and unhealthy gases. If the total air pressure is 73.06 atm, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 9.13 atm, and the partial pressure of hydrogen sulfide is 2.79 atm, what is the partial pressure of the remaining air?

Question

Solution

To find the partial pressure of the remaining air, you need to subtract the partial pressures of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from the total air pressure.

Here are the steps:

  1. Add the partial pressures of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide together: 9.13 atm + 2.79 atm = 11.92 atm.

  2. Subtract this sum from the total air pressure: 73.06 atm - 11.92 atm = 61.14 atm.

So, the partial pressure of the remaining air is 61.14 atm.
