Suppose the pressure in cylinder A in the previous problem was 2.50 atm. What do you think the pressure due to methane is in cylinder B? Justify your answer with some sort of explanation. Then Google “Dalton’s Law” and explain how it relates to this problem.

Data from Previous problem

Consider three identical-sized cylinders, all at the same temperature. Cylinder A contains 2 moles of nitrogen (N₂) gas. Cylinder B contains 1 mole of nitrogen gas and 1 mole of methane (CH₄) gas. Cylinder C contains 2 moles of methane gas. Which cylinder has the higher pressure?
