Three gases occupy a container. First gas has a pressure of 1.25 ATM. Second gas has a pressure of 0.3 ATM. Third gas has a pressure of 0.85 ATM. What is the total pressure of the gases in the container?

1 answer

To find the total pressure of the gases in the container, you simply add up the pressures of all three gases.

Total pressure = pressure of first gas + pressure of second gas + pressure of third gas
Total pressure = 1.25 ATM + 0.3 ATM + 0.85 ATM
Total pressure = 2.4 ATM

Therefore, the total pressure of the gases in the container is 2.4 ATM.
