find the mole fraction on each: Mole fraction gas (X) = moles of gas (X) / total moles of all gases Then use this formula: Pi = X Pt Where Pi = partial pressure of gas i X = mole fraction of gas i Pt = total pressure of all gases How do you calculate the total pressure?Is it just the total number of moles?Or do you need to convert it to Pascals?

Boyle's Law

The mathematical equation for Boyle's law is:

pV=k

where: p denotes the pressure of the system.Vdenotes the volume of the gas.k is a constant value representative of the pressure and volume of the system

OR

V=nRT/P

Pressure is measured by the force it exerts on an area. Usually pounds per square inch (psi) or newtons per square meter ( called Pascals ). To find the pressure of a gas you need to know how much force it exerts over a certain area. This is usually accomplished with a pressure gauge.

Increase the proportion of that gas or increase the total pressure at the same proportions.

How do you find the volume of a gas at a certain temperature?

One still has to know the pressure and the amount(moles) of that gas, not which gas is concerned.


How can you use variables like temperature pressure and volume of gas in cng cylinder to find out mass of gas in side it?

The ideal gas law. Pressure * Volume = moles * Gas constant R * Temperature in Kelvin Once you have moles it is easy to find mass. PV = nRT
