To calculate the total pressure inside the container, you can use Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures. According to this law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each gas in the mixture.
Given the partial pressures:
- Oxygen (\(P_{O_2}\)) = 2.00 atm
- Carbon Dioxide (\(P_{CO_2}\)) = 3.00 atm
- Nitrogen (\(P_{N_2}\)) = 4.00 atm
The total pressure (\(P_{total}\)) can be calculated as follows:
\[ P_{total} = P_{O_2} + P_{CO_2} + P_{N_2} \] \[ P_{total} = 2.00 , \text{atm} + 3.00 , \text{atm} + 4.00 , \text{atm} \] \[ P_{total} = 9.00 , \text{atm} \]
Therefore, the total pressure inside the container is 9.00 atm.
