A flask contains methane, chlorine and carbon monoxide gases. the partial pressures of each are 0.215 atm, 0.066 atm, and 0.826
hjlf

Answer;

The total pressure is 1.107 atm.

Explanation;

The total pressure is the sum of the pressures of the three gases in the flask

Pressure (total) = 0.215 atm + 0.066 atm + 0.826 atm = 1.107 atm

= 1.107 atm.
