A sample of gas contains 4.44 moles of oxygen, 1.35 moles ofnitrogen, and 1.13 moles of carbon dioxide. If the total pressureis 4.14 atm, what is the partial pressure of the oxygen in atm?

no of moles of O2 nO2   = 4.44 moles

no of moles of N2 nN2    = 1.35 moles

no of moles of CO2 nCo2   = 1.13 moles

mole fraction of XO2     = nO2 /nO2 + nN2 + nCo2

                                             = 4.44/4.44+1.35+1.13

                                     = 4.44/6.92   = 0.64

partial pressure of O2 PO2    = XO2 *PT

                                               = 0.64*4.14   = 2.6496atm
