Note: To calculate a partical pressure you must first convert the percent to a decimal number. To remove the percent you divide by 100 or simply move the decimal two places to the left. For instance, 0.03% converted to a decimal = .0003. After you have converted the percent to a decimal you can caculate the partial pressure. Class, for credit on the exam you must set up the equation as shown above. |
