Question

A study of the effect of certain gases on plant growth requires a synthetic atmosphere composed of 1.5mol percent CO2, 18 mol percent O2 and 80.5mol percent Ar 

a) calculate the partial pressure of O2 in the mixture if the total pressure of the atmosphere is to be 750 Torr

b) if the atmosphere is to be held in a 120L space at 295K how many moles of O2 are needed?

[1 atm = 760 Torr = 101325Pa 1L=1dm^3]
