A gas cylinder contains 2.5 atm of ne, 0.8 atm of co2, and 3.4 atm of ar. what is the total pressure in the cylinder? g

To answer this problem, we must make assumptions for simplicity. The first assumption is that, the system only consist of these 3 gases. The second assumption is that, these gases behave ideally. Thus, from Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure, the total pressure is simply the sum of their individual partial pressures.

Total pressure = 2.5 + 0.8 + 3.4 = 6.7 atm
