Hello, I am studying for an exam that I am taking in January, and I am doing practice problems. I have not taken physics in over 2.5 years... and I don't remember half of it pretty much. I'm trying to learn it again as I practice.
Here is the problem:
There is a 1 cubic meter container filled with 4 gases: He, O2, CO2, N2. There are equal molar quantities of all 4 gases, and are assumed to be ideal. The pressure inside is 1 atm, or 10^5 Pa. The temperature is 25 degrees C.
What I want to know is, does the partial pressure of each gas increase at different rates? Or does the partial pressure of the gases increase at the same rate... If they are different, does it depend on the size of the gas molecule?
Actually, I'm not sure if this should be in physics section or in the chemistry section.
Honestly I don't even know.
I tried reading about partial pressures, but could not find anything relevant :/
