ANSWER:

Solution 72P

Here, we have to identify the which sample has highest and lowest partial pressure.

Step 1 of 3

The given picture:

a.

At constant temperature  and the volume,  partial pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the number of mole of the gas molecules in the given sample.

Sample III has high number of moles of molecules.

Therefore, sample III has the highest pressure of A.
