Partial Pressure Calculator

Find a gas's partial pressure from its mole fraction.

Calculated Output

Partial pressure (atm) 0.21

Formula: P_partial = mole fraction × total pressure

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Mole fraction = 0.21

3. Total pressure = 1 atm

5. Partial pressure = Mole fraction x Total pressure = 0.21 x 1 = 0.21atm

Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure.

Oxygen (0.21) at 1 atm → 0.21 atm.

Sum of partials?

Equals the total pressure (Dalton's law).
