Total Pressure Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Total Pressure.
Ptotal = Σ Ppartials
- Where Ptotal is the Total Pressure (atm)
- Ppartials are the partial pressures of each gas (atm)
How to Calculate Total Pressure?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Total Pressure.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the partial pressure of each gas (atm). In this example, the partial pressure of each gas (atm) is given as 12,35,6.
- Finally, calculate the Total Pressure using the equation above:
Ptotal = Σ Ppartials
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Ptotal =12+35+6 =53 (atm)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are:
partial pressure of each gas (atm) = 5,6,87
Entering these values yields:
Ptotal = 5+6+87 = 98 (atm)
