Recall that the partial pressure of a gas (PGas) in a mixture is given by:

$\overline{){{\mathbf{P}}}_{{\mathbf{gas}}}{\mathbf{=}}{{\mathbf{\chi }}}_{{\mathbf{gas}}}{{\mathbf{P}}}_{{\mathbf{total}}}}$

Mole fraction:

Solving for partial pressure of each gas:

• # of particles = # of moles of each gas

PHe0.50 atm
