12. If the total pressure exerted by 3 gases is 45 atm and each individual gas has the

same pressure, what is the pressure of each gas?

Partial pressure for each of the three gases, in the mixture is 15 atm

Explanation:

Remember that the total pressure of a mixture, is the sum of partial pressures from the gases contained in the mixture.

Our total pressure = 45 atm

The 3 gases have the same pressure, so we can propose this equation:

3x = 45 atm

where x is the partial pressure for each of the three gases.

x = 45/3 → 15 atm
