What is the Partial Pressure Calculator?

The Partial Pressure Calculator determines the pressure contributed by a specific gas in a mixture based on its mole fraction and the total pressure of the mixture. By entering the total pressure and the mole fraction of the gas, this tool calculates the partial pressure using Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures. It helps students, chemists, and enthusiasts understand gas mixtures, predict behavior in reactions, and analyze gaseous systems accurately.

How to Use:

1. Enter Total Pressure (P_total): Type the total pressure of the gas mixture in atmospheres.
2. Enter Mole Fraction (χ): Input the mole fraction of the specific gas (a value between 0 and 1).
3. Click “Calculate”: The calculator multiplies the total pressure by the mole fraction to find the partial pressure.
4. Review the Result: The output displays the partial pressure of the gas, helping you understand its contribution to the overall mixture.
