Total Pressure Calculator

Do you know how to calculate the total pressure of a system? Total pressure is the sum of all partial pressures in a given system. It helps in understanding the overall pressure exerted by different gases or fluids. Enter P1, P2 P3 P4 and P5 into the calculator to find total pressure.

Input Fields

  1. Enter P1 (atm): Input the first partial pressure. For example, 2.5.
  2. Enter P2 (atm): Input the second partial pressure. For instance, 1.5.
  3. Enter P3 (atm): Input the third partial pressure. For example, 0.5.
  4. Enter P4 (atm): Input the fourth partial pressure. For instance, 1.0.
  5. Enter P5 (atm): Input the fifth partial pressure. For example, 0.8.

Steps to Calculate

  1. Fill in the values for P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 into the calculator.
  2. Click Calculate: The calculator will display the total pressure.

Calculation Examples

Example 1

  • P1: 2.5 atm
  • P2: 1.5 atm
  • P3: 0.5 atm
  • P4: 1.0 atm
  • P5: 0.8 atm

Step-by-Step Calculation:

Sum of Partial Pressures:

2.5+1.5+0.5+1.0+0.8=6.3

Result: Total Pressure = 6.3 atm

Example 2

  • P1: 3.0 atm
  • P2: 2.0 atm
  • P3: 1.0 atm
  • P4: 1.5 atm
  • P5: 0.5 atm

Calculation:

Sum of Partial Pressures:

3.0+2.0+1.0+1.5+0.5=8.0

Result: Total Pressure = 8.0 atm
