When a container is filled with 3 moles of helium gas, 2 moles of oxygen gas, and 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas, the pressure in the container is 786 kpa. what is the partial pressure of the oxygen gas? a. 131 kpa b. 262 kpa c. 393 kpa d. 786 kpa

B. 262 kPa

Explanation:

First we must find the total of moles in the container:

3 moles of helium + 2 moles of oxygen + 1 mole s of carbon = 6 moles.

of the total of moles, 2 are oxygen, so the fraction of oxygen in the container is

Thus, the partial pressure of the oxygen gas must be a third of the total pressure in the container:

Partial pressure of the oxygen gas =

The answer is B. 262 kPa

58750.08068 is the answer i think
