~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use two rules when solve such problems:
(1) Total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of partial pressures.
(2) Partial pressure of a gas in the mixture is proportional to its molar mass in the mixture.
It gives you, for your problem
= = 0.4713 atm (rounded). ANSWER = = 1.8287 atm (rounded). ANSWER
