Question 1197129: Try to determine which column exerts greater partial pressure by putting
E on the blank if the column on the left is greater than the column on the right and
putting Z on the blank if the column on the right is greater than the column on the left.1.
Ptotal = 202 kPa
n1 = 0.4 mol
ntotal = 1.2 mol
or
Ptotal = 30 psi
n2 = 5 mol
ntotal = 14 mol
Ptotal = 0.83 atm
X1 = 0.23
or
Ptotal = 19 psi
X2 = 0.19

**1. Calculate Partial Pressures**
* **Case 1:**
* Partial Pressure 1 (P1) = (n1 / ntotal) * Ptotal
* P1 = (0.4 mol / 1.2 mol) * 202 kPa = 67.33 kPa
* **Case 2:**
* Partial Pressure 2 (P2) = (n2 / ntotal) * Ptotal
* P2 = (5 mol / 14 mol) * 30 psi = 10.71 psi
* **Case 3:**
* Partial Pressure 3 (P3) = X1 * Ptotal
* P3 = 0.23 * 0.83 atm = 0.1909 atm
* **Case 4:**
* Partial Pressure 4 (P4) = X2 * Ptotal
* P4 = 0.19 * 19 psi = 3.61 psi
**2. Compare Partial Pressures**
* **Case 1 vs. Case 2:**
* **Case 1 has a higher partial pressure.** (kPa is a larger unit than psi)
* **Answer: E**
* **Case 3 vs. Case 4:**
* **Case 3 has a higher partial pressure.** (0.1909 atm > 3.61 psi)
* **Answer: E**
**Therefore, the answers are:**
* **E**
* **E**

.
As the problem is worded in the post, its meaning is absolutely incomprehensible.
As the solution is presented, its meaning is both incomprehensible and is not verifiable.
My point is that neither the problem nor its "solution" are mathematical, in style.
In plain English, all these circumstances are covered by one concept "GIBBERISH".
