Question

Calculate the partial pressure in atm of each gas in a mixture of gases. In a tank containing 16.00 grams of carbon dioxide, 26.50 g of nitrogen gas, and 8.00 grams oxygen gas for a total pressure of 80.0 kPa.

Conversion:   1 atm = 101.325 kPa; MW(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol;MW(N2) = 28.0 g/mol; and  MW(O2) = 32.0 g/mol.                   

The pCO2, pN2, and pO2 in atm are .........., ............, and .............., respectively in 3 sig. figures.
