Panel 8: Solving a gas mixture problem

You are asked to calculate the total pressure and partial pressure of oxygen for two moles of oxygen and one mole of nitrogen in a cylinder with a volume of 10.0 Liters at a temperature of 298 Kelvin.

You can find the total pressure by using the total number of moles in the ideal gas law.

You can find the partial pressure of oxygen using the moles of oxygen in the ideal gas law.
