Answer: 83.11 torr
Explanation:
According to Dalton's Law of partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.
i.e Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .......
In this case,
Ptotal = 384 torr
P1 = 289 torr
P2 = 11.89 torr
P3 = ? (let the partial pressure of the remaining gas be Z)
Ptotal = P1 + P2 + Z
384 torr = 289 torr + 11.89 torr + Z
384 torr = 300.89 torr + Z
Z = 384 torr - 300.89 torr
Z = 83.11 torr
Thus, the partial pressure of the remaining gas is 83.11 torr.
