Partial and Total Pressures

[Amy Kalteis 2F]

When calculating the total pressure of a reaction at equilibrium, do we just add all of the partial pressure values together? Does initial partial pressure of the gas have any impact on total pressure at equilibrium?

[Rhea Desai 1A]

Yep total pressure at equilibrium is all the partial pressures at equilibrium added up together. The initial partial pressure is not included when finding total pressure at equilibrium, but all the equilibrium partial pressures are included.

[Mia Yamada 1J]

You can use the initial partial pressures to find the equilibrium partial pressures if you know what the change in partial pressures is as the system goes to equilibrium. This can be shown through creating an ICE table.

[Amanda Tran 1D]

To get total pressure, you add the partial pressures at equilibrium (on an ICE chart, think of this as adding up all the partial pressures in the "E" row).

[Daniel Li 3C]

Through the usage of an ice table, you use the initial partial pressures to calculate the equilibrium pressures. Then, use the equilibrium partial pressures to find the total pressure.

[Benjamin Nguyen 1J]

Yes, total pressure is all the partial pressures added up. The total pressure at equilibrium would be all the partial pressures at equilibrium added up.

[Aashna Bhandari 1L]

The total pressure is equal to the sum of all the partial pressures, and accordingly the total pressure at equilibrium is equal to the sum of all the partial pressures at equilibrium.

[Emily Nguyen 3L]

I remember misinterpreting total pressure as the total pressure for one reactant or product at the end of a reaction, but yes the total pressure is the sum of all the individual pressures of products together. The initial pressures can be used to find the equilibrium pressures for each substance involved in the reaction using an ICE box.

[Prithvi Raj 3E]

To find the total pressure, you would add all the partial pressures at equilibrium.

[claire smith]

Similarly to calculating K, initial pressure is not taken into account for the total pressure of a system - just the equilibrium pressures. You add together all the gas pressures to find this value.

[Kimberly_martinez2I]

Yes, when trying to find the total pressure (at equilibrium) you take the sum of all the partial pressures (at equilibrium). To find the partial pressures at equilibrium you use the initial partial pressures and your ICE chart.

To find the total final pressure at equilibrium, you first find all of the partial pressures given at equilibrium then add these values together for a total.

[Grant_2A]

The total pressure at equilibrium is all the partial pressures at equilibrium added up together. Hope this helps !

[Emily Quill 2H]

Yes, the total pressure is the sum of all the partial pressures at equilibrium.

[Shreya Arcot 3K]

The total pressure is all the partial pressures, at equilibrium, added together.

[Sophia Manos 1F]

Hi! You get the total pressure at equilibrium when you add together all of the partial pressures at equilibrium. Hope this helps!

[Mia Orr 3B]

To calculate the total pressure at equilibrium, you would use the inital partial pressures to find the partial pressures at equilibrium by using an ICE box. Then, add together the partial pressures at equilibrium to get the total pressure at equilibrium. Hope this helps!

[Cynthia_L_2C]

In order to find the total pressure, you must add up all the partial pressures at equilibrium.

[Guadalupe_3B]

Adding all the partial pressures at equilibrium will get you the total pressure of a reaction.

[Holly Do 2J]

I believe that the total pressure will just be the total/sum of all the partial pressures.

[emmakvarnell]

Yes, the total pressure is a sum of all the partial pressures of the gases involved in the reaction. The initial pressures do have an effect of the final pressure, which can be found using ICE tables and the equilibrium constant.

[Kimberly_martinez2I]

The initial partial pressures are used to find the partial pressures at equilibrium. Then the amounts at equilibrium are used to find the total pressure by adding them up.

[Anthony_Rio_3K]

In an isolated system do partial pressures and total pressure remain constant?

[Jessica Li 1G]

Yes, you would need to take the sum of the partial pressures at equilibrium to calculate the total pressure.

[Palig Kechichian 3F]

The total pressure at equilibrium would be the sum of all the partial pressures

[Miranda Hess 3I]

Yep, you would just add up partial pressures to get total pressure.

[taline krumian 1L]

The total pressure at equilibrium is the sum of all the partial pressures at equilibrium.
