What is the total pressure on the gas after the 760 mm Hg has been added?
FIRST PHASE
atmospheric pressure= 760 torr
gas volume= 60 mL
(760 mm Hg added to 2nd phase)
SECOND PHASE
atmospheric pressure= 760 torr
Gas volume= 30 mL
**image looks like a J. in the 2nd phase, there is 760 mm that is half of the J** if that makes any sense.
I am confused on how you solve the problem considering the torr and ml and mm and mmHg
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationships between the different pressure units and how they apply to the given information. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Convert the given atmospheric pressure from torr to mmHg: Since 1 torr is equivalent to 1 mmHg, the atmospheric pressure of 760 torr is also equal to 760 mmHg. Therefore, the atmospheric pressure in both phases is 760 mmHg.
2. Understand the concept of partial pressure: The total pressure on a gas mixture can be calculated by adding up the partial pressures of each individual gas component. In this case, the partial pressures are determined by the volume of each gas phase.
3. Calculate the partial pressure in the first phase: The first phase has a volume of 60 mL. Since the atmospheric pressure (and therefore the partial pressure) is 760 mmHg, we can label the partial pressure of the first phase as 760 mmHg.
4. Calculate the partial pressure in the second phase: The second phase has a volume of 30 mL. However, it's important to note that the image description mentions that 760 mmHg has been added to the second phase. This means that the partial pressure in the second phase is now the sum of the original partial pressure (760 mmHg) and the additional 760 mmHg, resulting in a total of 1520 mmHg.
5. Calculate the total pressure: To determine the total pressure on the gas, we need to add up the partial pressures from both phases. In this case, the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressure in the first phase (760 mmHg) and the partial pressure in the second phase after the 760 mmHg has been added (1520 mmHg). Adding these two values together, we get a total pressure of 2280 mmHg.
Therefore, the total pressure on the gas after the 760 mmHg has been added is 2280 mmHg.
