Question

If the pressure of dry gas is given by X and the total pressure is given by X + 3, then what is aqueous tension?

(a) 2

(b) X

(c) X + 2

(d) 3

This question was posed to me during an internship interview.

My enquiry is from States of Matter in division States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) 3

The explanation: As we know that the pressure of the dry gas is given by the difference between the total pressure and the Aqueous tension, so aqueous tension equals x + 3 – x = 3. So the aqueous tension is three units.
