Answer:
Total pressure in flask is 2.37 atm.
Explanation:
According to the Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure of the flask would be the sum of partial pressure of the gases present in mixture.
P(total) = P1+ P2+P3+...Pn
n= number of gases present
Given data:
Pressure of argon gas = 0.72 atm
Pressure of oxygen gas = 1.65 atm
Total pressure in flask = ?
Solution:
P(total) = P (argon) + P (oxygen)
P(total) = 0.72 + 1.65
P(total) = 2.37 atm
