Solution :-

Total pressure = 770 mmHg

partial pressure of CO2 = 133 mmHg

partial pressure of Ar = 233 mmHg

partial pressure of O2 = 183 mmHg

partial pressure of He= ?

Total pressure is the sum of the partial pressure of the all gases in the mixture

therefore

parital pressure of the He = total pressure - ( P CO2 + P Ar + P O2)

                                         = 770 mmHg - ( 133 mmHg + 233 mmHg + 183 mmHg)

                                         = 221 mmHg

Therefore the parital pressure of the He = 221 mmHg
