Total pressure = sum of partial pressures
Mole fraction (X) = moles of gas / total moles of all gases
Mole fraction x total pressure = partial pressure
1). Total pressure = sum of partial pressures
Total pressure = 0.25 atm + 0.60 atm = 0.85 atm
2). Convert pressure of helium to atmospheres
3048 mm Hg x 1 atm / 760 mm Hg = 4.0 atm
Total pressure = sum of partial pressures
Total pressure = 2.00 atm + 3.00 atm + 4.0 atm = 9.00 atm
