Questions and Answers

What is the formula for the law of partial pressures?

  • PT = P1 / P2 / P3 / PN
  • PT = P1 - P2 - P3 - PN
  • PT = P1 * P2 * P3 * PN
  • PT = P1 + P2 + P3 + PN (correct)

    • Why is understanding how pressure affects any gas vital?

  • To understand the smell of the gas
  • To predict the behavior of the gas (correct)
  • To calculate the weight of the gas
  • To determine the color of the gas

    • What is vapor pressure?

  • Pressure associated with a liquid that has become a solid
  • Pressure associated with a solid that has become a liquid
  • Pressure associated with a liquid that has become a gas (correct)
