Amixture of 0.220 moles co, 0.350 moles f2 and 0.640 moles he has a total pressure of 2.95 atm. what is the pressure of co?

The partial pressure of CO is 0.536 atom.

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure states that the total pressure of a mixture of non-reacting gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Mathematically, it can be represented as follows:

If the total pressure is known as well as the number of moles of the gases in the mixture, the partial pressure of a component as can be calculated using the equation below:

where:

Pₓ is the partial pressure of gas X

P(total) = total pressure of the mixture

nₓ = number of moles of gas X

n(total) = total number of moles of gas

To solve the problem, first sort the given:

Then we plug in the given values into the equation above:
